During the meeting, Minister Sarah stressed the importance of press cooperation to confront the media war that targets the two countries and works to distort facts and concepts.

Minister, Sarah pointed out to the need for raising the level of Syrian-Iranian relations in the media and cultural sectors to confront some campaigns that seek to harm mutual relations.

The Minister of Information said that, Syria which has defeated terrorism through the strength of its people and army is able today to confront the economic terrorism represented by the unjust blockade imposed by the United States against it.

Khatib Zadah, who is also head of the Center for Public Diplomacy and Information, said that, the countries which launched the terrorist war on Syria failed to achieve their goals. Those countries turned into an economic and media war to “tighten the noose around the Syrian people and mislead public opinion.”

The Iranian official affirmed his country’s continued support for the government and people of Syria.
