In a statement upon his arrival in the Pakistani Capital Aslam Abad to take part in a conference on the “challenge of terrorism and inter-regional connectivity “, Larijani said “a state like Russia has been active in fighting terrorism, so it can play a key role in this conference being one of the parties which contribute to countering terrorism in the world.”

Larijani Hails Campaign against Terrorism in Syria as Successful

Speaking to reporters in Tehran on Saturday ahead of his departure for Islamabad to participate in a conference, Larijani hailed as fruitful the campaign against terrorism in Syria, saying prior attempts to fight the vicious phenomenon had been unsuccessful.

“The campaign against terrorism in the past had not been so successful and after attending to the active elements in the region and alertness to them, modern approaches were pursued by the regional countries to offer a solution in the fight against terrorism,” Larijani said, according to Press TV.

Larijani’s counterparts from Russia, Turkey, Afghanistan, China and Pakistan are also scheduled to attend the conference that opens on Sunday.

Pakistan’s National Assembly Secretariat is hosting the three-day conference focusing on Parliamentary Cooperation for Peace, Connectivity and Prosperity in the region.

The imperative parliamentary meeting aims to identify, promote and develop common socio-economic interests of the six countries. This will help not only towards achieving stability and security in the region but can also potentially blossom into a golden ring of peace, economic growth and sustainable prosperity.
