Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Friday his country and the Arab League agree on the need to fight terrorism, including through military means, the Russian news agency Sputnik reported.
"We have a common stance regarding the need for an uncompromising fight against this absolute evil, both through military means and by cutting terrorist supply channels, in particular Daesh and, of course, by combating the spread of extremist ideologies," Lavrov told reporters following Russia-Arab League meeting.
In an official joint statement agreed during the talks, the sides welcome the idea of creating a broad anti-terrorism coalition, according to the minister.
"The statement supports Russian President Vladimir Putin's initiative to create a broad anti-terrorism front based on international law, under UN auspices," he said.
Lavrov also stated that Russia is ready to help normalize relations between Iran and the League of Arab States.
