Heading a high-ranking delegation, Brigadier General Hatami has traveled to the Russian capital at the official invitation of the Russian minister to attend the Eighth Moscow Conference on International Security.

The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation has organized the annual conference in Moscow on April 23-25, 2019.

Pointing to Iran-Russia anti-terror cooperation, the Russian minister said, “Russia and Iran will continue their joint fight against international terrorism”.

He added that Russia and Iran’s close cooperation on the Syrian crisis within the framework of the Astana peace process has played a major role in implementing a ceasefire regime and normalizing the situation in the Arab country.

The Astana format – which has brought the parties to the Syria conflict to the negotiating table – has so far made numerous achievements both on the battlefield and the political stage.

The talks have helped significantly decrease the violence gripping Syria by creating de-escalation zones there. They have also paved the way for the formation of a constitutional committee.

Iran, Russia, and Turkey are known as three guarantor states of the ceasefire in Syria.
