A message from President Bashar al-Assad to the Supreme Leader of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Ali Khamenei, on the relations between Syria and Iran was handed by Prime Minister, Dr. Wael al-Halqi, on Tuesday to Advisor of the Supreme Leader, Ali Akbar Velayati.

Velayati stressed that the distinguished and strategic relations between the two countries which were founded by late Imam Sayyed al-Khomeini and the Immortal Leader, Hafez al-Assad, entail greater responsibility to maintain and develop these relations in all fields, expressing wishes for the Syrian people to emerge from the crisis as soon as possible.

For his part, Dr. al-Halqi said, “Under the leadership of President Bashar al-Assad and Sayyed Ali Khamenei, we will continue and develop joint work, particularly in the economic, commercial and developmental domains.”

Dr. al-Halqi explained that the Syrian people managed to confront all challenges thanks to the support of friends.

The two sides also talked about the bilateral relations, particularly the economic and commercial ties between the two countries with the aim of accelerating the flow of Iranian goods and oil derivatives into the Syrian market and establishing joint projects that boost the capacities of the Syrian people and the national economy to confront the conspiracy.
