The Minister of Information stressed that targeting the resistance is not targeting a specific country, rather it is a comprehensive targeting.

He pointed out that the position of Syria regarding the challenges facing the axis of resistance is not only a political position, but a humanitarian, moral and existential position, and a position of truth and faith.
The Minister of Information stressed the necessity of establishing joint media projects, seminars and conferences during which common media topics are discussed.
He also discussed the necessity of forming a joint working team to follow up on aspects of cooperation between the two countries and keep pace with regional and international events in a way that serves the directions of the axis of resistance.
In turn, the Iranian ambassador said that the media has an important role in strengthening relations between the two countries and the two peoples, stressing that strengthening the political, economic and cultural relations requires coordination at all levels.
Ambassador Akbari added: There is pivotal cooperation and coordination between Syria and Iran in all fields and on all regional and international fronts. He stressed that Syria has a pivotal role and is a main pillar of resistance.
Ambassador Akbari stressed that the Palestinian issue has opened new horizons for the two countries, as many in the world know today that the position of Syria and Iran is the most correct.
The Iranian ambassador indicated that the axis of resistance should work to mobilize media capabilities, with the aim of forming a unified front at the media level to defend common interests, rights and positions based on truth.
