The head of Syria-Iran parliamentary friendship group Mohammed Hussein Raghib al-Hussein, for his part, said: "Both Iran and Syria have proven that they herald peace and friendship in the world. Our enemies never leave us alone as they have suffered a hammer blow in Syria, Iraq and Yemen."
Syria's ambassador Adnan Mahmoud who was present at the meeting also said that documents of cooperation between Iran and Syria have been prepared and should be signed by both parties at the earliest opportunity, to promote and bolster economic ties between the two sides.
The conflict in Syria has caused billions of dollars in damage to the country, but Syrian president Bashar al-Assad said he is determined to rebuild the country without a single penny from the “dishonest” West.
The United States and its allies have been actively engaged in the seven-year long war in Syria, including the illegal stationing of troops in the country and backing anti-government terrorists and militants such as ISIS (also known as Daesh), al-Nusra Front, and the Free Syrian Army (FSA). 101/201
