The solution for Syria and the regional issues is political dialogue, not military action, Ali Larijani said in a meeting with his Qatari counterpart on the sidelines of the 141st Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) in Serbia on Sunday. Iran News quotes the report by Tasnim.

“As military behavior did not work in Syria, it won’t work in other places either. It only inflicted damages on people of Syria, and it was the same in Yemen as well,” Larijani added.

The Iranian speaker also said that certain countries in the region have created trouble in the current volatile situation and sapped the energy of the Muslim nations, urging efforts to resolve the conflicts.

He further hailed the positive steps that Tehran and Doha have taken to enhance economic and trade ties.

For his part, Qatari Parliament Speaker Ahmad bin Abdulla bin Zaid Al Mahmoud said his country’s policy is based upon dialogue.

Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, which stretches for 900 kilometers only in Iran, has been designed to help populous Pakistan overcome its growing energy needs.

Pakistan has fallen short of constructing the 700-kilometer part of the pipeline on its territory.

In August, Iran’s Ambassador to Islamabad Mahdi Honardoost said Iran has spent more than $2 billion on the gas pipeline project and fulfilled much of its commitments, noting that only a 180 km section of the pipeline on the Iranian soil remains to be completed.

“Should Pakistan take a positive step, we will rapidly finish the remaining section,” the envoy said at the time.

In his address, Larijani said it is necessary for the Eurasian parliaments to close ranks against unilateralism, adding, “The Islamic Republic of Iran believes that the conference members should adopt wise, balanced and active policies to further strengthen the process of multilateralism and redefine and enhance the areas of political, security, economic and trade cooperation.”

On the grounds for cooperation among the Eurasian states, the Iranian speaker proposed plans to broaden parliamentary cooperation and interaction among the governments, private sectors, and regional and international organizations, ease customs regulations, facilitate the free flow of investment, coordinate monetary and financial policies, and use the currencies of the regional nations in trade.
He also denounced the US administration’s withdrawal from the Paris climate agreement, calling on the Eurasian states to devise an appropriate framework for protecting the environment after ratification of the parliaments.

“The illegal and unilateral measures by powers like the US on international issues have created big challenges for the international community, such as that (US) government’s illegal withdrawal from the JCPOA, its unlawful decision about the Palestinian issue and declaring al-Quds the capital of an illegitimate, occupying and aggressive regime, the pullout from the Paris climate deal, and upsetting the world trade’s tariff system,” Larijani stated.

He further slammed Washington’s unilateral and illegal withdrawal from the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and its move to re-impose cruel sanctions against Tehran as a sign of re-emergence of the failed and worn-out policy of unilateralism in the international relations.
