The Syrian president stressed the need to make this relationship the basis for creating a bigger network of relations, especially with countries that agree with Syria and Iran on this approach, according to the Syrian SANA news agency.
For his part, Falahatpisheh affirmed that the deep-rooted cultural heritage of the Syrian and the Iranian peoples forms firm grounds on which they stand, as opposed to the countries that are standing today on shaky grounds because they have adopted immoral policies that contradict international law, whether by using terrorism as an instrument to achieve their interests, or imposing sanctions on countries which disagree with them.105/205
