“Iran-Syria cooperation in the educational sector will lead to the formation of a common culture between the two nations,” Haji Mirzaei said.

“Iran is ready to help reconstruction of Syria educational centers,” he added.

Referring to Iran’s valuable experiences in the reconstruction, renovation and equipping the educational centers after the eight-year Iraq-Iran war, the minister said the Iranian experts are ready to transfer and share their expertise with the Syrian partners.

Iranian contractors have been actively involved in the reconstruction of Syria’s different sectors, including the energy, road and urban sectors, in the past years.
