An Iranian diplomat voiced the countrys support for the United Nations plans to ensure peace and stability in Syria and protect the Arab countrys sovereignty.

In a Saturday meeting in Tehran, Ali Asghar Khaji, a senior adviser on political affairs to the Iranian foreign minister, and Geir Pedersen, the United Nations special envoy for Syria, exchanged views about the latest developments pertaining to the ongoing crisis in the Arab state, discussions about the Constitutional Committee and ways to counter sanctions and dispatch humanitarian aid to the Syrian people.

"The Syrian government and nation have stood up to Daesh and other terrorist groups for more than 10 years and have now achieved relative stability, and the country's relations with regional states are increasing," Khaji said.
