Al-Miqdad discusses with the Iranian President’s Assistant coordination and joint cooperation to solve environmental problems

On May 30th, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Dr. Faisal Miqdad met with the Iranian President’s Assistant and Head of the Environmental Protection Organization Ali Seljuk and the accompanying delegation. 

During the meeting, the two sides discussed the depth of relations between the two countries in all political, economic and environmental fields. 

Minister Miqdad stressed the importance of joint cooperation between the two countries to solve issues related to environmental problems and the need to work to reduce their negative effects, including dust storms. 

Minister Miqdad pointed out that the Turkish regime’s colonial practices in the region cause great environmental and economic damage in Syria, Iraq, Iran and other countries. 

Minister Miqdad said that the Turkish regime’s attempts to establish a so-called “safe zone” in northern Syria and building random settlement colonies in the lands it occupies will lead to demographic and environmental changes. 

Minister Miqdad condemned the unilateral sanctions imposed by the United States of America and its Western allies on both Syria and Iran because they are immoral and represent the worst types of terrorism. 

For his part, Seljuk expressed the depth of the brotherly relations between the two countries and the Iranian and Syrian peoples. 

Seljuk stressed that the road is long to reduce the problem of dust storms. 

Seljuk pointed out that the environmental terrorism that Syria and the countries of the region are exposed to had a significant impact on the increase and expansion of this phenomenon. 

The meeting was attended from the Syrian side by the Deputy Minister of Local Administration for Environmental Affairs Moataz Dohji, the Plenipotentiary Minister Khaled Sharaf, Director of the Afro-Asian Administration, Dr. Ihsan Al-Rumman from the Minister’s office.
