Iranian companies will participate in the reconstruction of war-torn Syria, Iran’s Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri said Monday.
“Iranian private sector companies are willing to participate in reconstruction of Syria,” Jahangiri said during a meeting with Syria’s Assad regime’s Prime Minister Imad Khamis.
Khamis is visiting Iran for talks with Iranian officials following the killing of top general Qasem Soleimani in a U.S. drone airstrike in Iraq earlier this month.
Jahangiri also said that U.S. exit from the region would be the real revenge on their criminal acts especially assassination of the IRGC Quds Force Commander Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani.
He noted that Western countries and especially the US unnecessary interventions have resulted in insecurity and instability in the region.
The U.S. has committed big crimes in the region and especially in Iraq and Syria by creating terrorist groups like ISIS.
Jahangiri went on to say that the U.S. out of its arrogant nature assassinated General Soleimani but a wave of solidarity was created among Islamic countries in the region and the regional people sympathized with Iran.
Jahangiri described Iranians’ massive turnout in General Soleimani funeral processions an unprecedented happening.
Iranian nations’ hatred against U.S. is now more than ever, he reiterated.
Jahangiri appreciated Muslims states in the region for their message of condolences and their sympathy.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Jahangiri underlined that Iran supports Syrian territorial integrity and sovereignty for establishing peace and stability.
He also expressed the hope the crisis in Idlib to be solved soon.
Tehran is interested in developing economic cooperation with Damascus, he said stressing the importance of implementing agreements.
He noted that Iranian private sector companies are willing to participate in reconstruction of Syria.
Jahangiri underlined accelerating banking ties between Iran and Syria.
Meanwhile Khamis and the government delegation offered condolences to Iran’s government and people over the martyrdom of Lt. Gen. Qassem Soleimani.
The Premier highlighted the deep-rooted relations between the two countries, saying that this visit comes at a stage while Iran is facing a new phase of war against it and the whole region due to the martyrdom of Soleimani.
He stressed Syria’s full solidarity with Iran and support to its right to defend itself and confront any conspiracy, emphasizing Iran’s ability to overcome this ordeal.
Khamis underlined need to upgrade bilateral cooperation and develop common relations to counter plots and unfair sanctions imposed on both countries, especially in light of developments that require more coordination and cooperation.
Khamis pointed out that the Iranian response to the U.S. crime and striking its military base (Eyn Al-Assad) directed a message to all countries of the world that arrogance will not continue and that Iran is strong and capable of deterring all the conspiracies it is exposed to and that the option of resistance is strengthened as the most effective way to liberate the area of terrorism and its backers.
