President Assad: Eradicating terrorism regional, int’l responsibility
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has said regional countries and the international community are required to bring an end to terrorism gripping West Asia.
He made the remarks during a meeting with Iran’s Defense Minister Brigadier General Aziz Nasirzadeh, in the Syrian capital of Damascus on Sunday.
Assad said that eradicating terrorism is a regional and international responsibility, warning that the threats posed by the scourge endanger all people across the world.
The Syrian president and the Iranian defense chief also discussed defense and security issues in the region, as well as ways to strengthen Tehran-Damascus cooperation aimed at countering terrorism and enhancing regional stability and security.
Earlier in the day, Nasirzadeh, who is on a two-day visit to Damascus, held talks with his Syrian counterpart, Lieutenant General Ali Mahmoud Abbas.
Iran was the first country to rush to Syria’s aid following the 2011 outbreak of foreign-backed violence there.
In 2017, military advisory assistance provided by the Islamic Republic helped the Arab nation score a monumental victory over the Daesh terrorist group.
