“The Islamic Republic of Iran will not leave Syria alone in such a difficult situation,” Namjou said Thursday on the sidelines of a ceremony to sign two water and electricity agreements with Syria.
Syria has always supported Iran’s Islamic establishment and the rights of the nation since the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979; therefore, Iran will not abandon support for Damascus under the circumstances that Western countries have united to hatch plots against the Arab country and undermine the security of Muslims in cooperation with terrorists, he added.
Iran and Syria signed two memoranda of understanding (MoUs) on the expansion of bilateral cooperation in the fields of electricity and water.
The agreements were signed by the Iranian energy minister and Syrian Minister of Electricity Imad Khamis and Minister of Water Resources Bassam Hanna.
The Iranian minister noted that Iran has been cooperating with Syria in the fields of water and electricity and Iranian private sector companies are implementing technical, development and economic projects in the country.
