AhlulBayt News Agency - A 3-member delegation of Iran's Parliament National Security and Foreign Policy Commission has arrived in Damascus to carry out a general examination of the situation on the ground in war between Syrian Army and terrorists.
On Wednesday, Speaker of the People's Assembly Hadiyeh Abbas received head of the Iranian Parliament commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi, and discussed with him issues of mutual interests and political and economic relations between the two countries.
During the meeting, Boroujerdi underlined the strong historical relations between Syria and Iran, stressing that the bonds between two countries cannot be broken.
He voiced Iran's relief and pride in the victories achieved by the Syrian Army in the war against terrorism despite the fact that over 80 countries are involved in the war on Syria, adding that terrorism is backfiring on its supporters in Europe and other states that conspire against Syria.
Boroujerdi said that President Bashar al-Assad was the protector of the Syrian people, voicing pride in President al-Assad's steadfastness throughout the years of war imposed on Syria.
The Syrian speaker, for her part, lauded Iran’s support for her country.
Abbas stressed that the long-standing strategic relations between Syria and Iran constitute a real guarantor for the future of the region in the face of Western and Israeli plots.
In a press statement following the meeting, Boroujerdi described his talks with Abbas as “very useful and constructive,” and reaffirmed Iran’s support for Syria in the face of terrorism.
The senior Iranian parliamentarian arrived in Damascus on Wednesday after his official visit to Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, where he held talks with senior Lebanese officials, including Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil, Prime Minister Tammam Salam and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri.
In Beirut, Boroujerdi also held talks with Hezbollah Secretary General Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah on the latest political and security developments in the region.
