Senior Iranian and Russian diplomats have once again reaffirmed the importance of settling the five-year-old crisis in Syria through political approaches, Press TV reported on Monday.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his visiting Russian counterpart Mikhail Bogdanov exchanged views in Tehran on Monday about the latest developments in the region, particularly in Syria and Yemen.
The Iranian and Russian officials emphasized that the two countries must hold more consultations in an attempt to promote peace talks in Syria.
They also stressed the importance of restoring unity to Syria and maintaining the Arab country’s territorial integrity.
Amir-Abdollahian said a successful fight against terrorism needs the firm determination of all countries and an end to financial and arms assistance to terrorist groups.
Bogdanov, who is the Russian presidential envoy on the Middle East and Africa, said Tehran and Moscow must hold regular consultations to help solve regional problems through diplomatic approaches and restore stability and security to the crisis-hit countries.
He added that representatives of all Syrian parties and groups should participate in the upcoming peace talks in Geneva as a key condition for the success of the negotiations.
