Iran (http://www.irna.ir/en/news/menu-236/key-5808/)-Syria (http://www.irna.ir/en/news/menu-236/key-10985/)-Shara (http://www.irna.ir/en/news/menu-236/key-59330/)
Visiting Syrian Vice-President Farouq al-Shara and Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki here Friday night discussed bilateral ties and key regional and international developments.
Al-Shara arrived here Friday evening on a two-day visit carrying a message from Syrian President Bashar al-Assad for the Iranian president.
Developments in Palestine following the victory of Hamas in the recent parliamentary elections, the Iraq crisis and Iran's peaceful nuclear activities topped the talks of the two officials.
Stressing Tehran's inalienable right to acquire peaceful nuclear technology, Iran and Syria were agreed the nuclear weapons of the Zionist regime and its refusal so far to join the NPT constituted the real threat to the Middle East region.
On developments in Iraq, the two sides were of the conviction that all regional countries stand to benefit from a stable Iraq and restoration of security in the country.
They welcomed moves of foreign ministers of Iraqi neighboring countries to hold a meeting to exchange views and to try to help find solutions to the current insecurity and continuing violence in that country, describing the meeting as fruitful.
They believed the meeting is called for in order to prepare the ground for upcoming meetings of the interior and defence ministers of neighboring countries.
The two sides, in the meeting, also stressed the need to continue the multi-purpose assistance being given to the Palestinian people in defense of their rights, and condemned Zionist threats to derail the Palestinian parliament and government duly elected by the Palestinian people.
During his stay in Tehran, Al-Shara is scheduled to meet with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Vice-President Parviz Davoodi, Minister of Housing and Urban Development and head of the
Tehran-Damascus Joint Economic Cooperation Commission Mohammad Saeedikia.
Al-Shara arrived here on the third leg of a three-nation tour which has already taken him to Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
