Iran, Pakistan discuss Syrian crisis over phone

Today, the Iranian Foreign Minister and Advisor to Pakistan’s Prime Minister for Foreign and Security Affairs Sartaj Aziz discussed current developments in Syria over phone.

During the telephone conversation, the two sides also reviewed bilateral relations and the latest regional developments mainly those in the Islamic world.

Zarif strongly condemned any use of chemical weapons in Syria and underlined that the crisis should be resolved through diplomacy.
