President Raisi met and held talks with Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad here in Tehran on Wednesday.
Stressing the need for full implementation of the agreements between the two countries, President Raisi said that Syria, after several years of crisis and conflict and the defeat of its enemies, is in a position today that can enter its strategic relations with Iran into new fields by focusing on economic cooperation.
Stating that the same people who pushed Syria to the crisis are working against the Islamic Republic of Iran, Raisi highlighted that when the enemies saw that the coup, the Imposed War [with Iraq], and years of threats, terror, and sanctions could not stop the progress of the Iranians, they openly carried out the conspiracy to incite riots against the Iranian nation.
Stating that the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue the path of progress, justice, and resistance with strength, President Raisi reiterated that attempts to destabilize Iran are manifestations of the enemy's anger and desperation to achieve its goals in Iran and the region.
He added that these conspiracies will not make the great nation of Iran hesitate in achieving its great goals.
Mekdad, for his part, condemned the terrorist crime in Shiraz's Shahcheragh Shrine and emphasized that strategic relations between Iran and Syria will continue on their path.
The Syrian foreign minister noted that it is obvious that when the enemies of the regional nations are defeated in Syria, they will definitely not have a chance to achieve their goals against the powerful nation of Iran.
He also emphasized his country's commitment and interest in enhancing economic cooperation with Iran.
