Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian held a meeting with United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Geir Pedersen on Sunday.

Amir-Abdollahian and Pedersen met and held talks at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Tehran.

Last week, at a quadrilateral meeting on the Syrian crisis in Moscow, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed the need for respecting Syria�s sovereignty and combating terrorism.

Saying that today the world is in a unique situation regarding international relations, the top Iranian diplomat stressed the world is going toward regionalism and the US power is declining.

Welcoming the negotiations between Syria and Turkey, the Iranian foreign minister said that the two countries can successfully resolve their bilateral issues through dialogue and deepen their cooperation based on a good neighborliness policy.

Emphasizing that military action will not solve any problem, Amir-Abdollahian announced the readiness of the Islamic Republic of Iran to support the process of dialogue and help to implement the agreements reached between the parties in this regard.

Stressing the need for respecting and considering Syria�s national sovereignty in any political solution for Syria-related issues, Amir-Abdollahian suggested that the presence of the Syrian army on the borders and joint provision of security with the neighbors can solve the security concerns of Ankara and other neighbors and prevent the activities of terrorists and separatists as well.
