Syria case 'good example to resolve issues in Asia'

TEHRAN, Nov. 29 (MNA) – Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said that the cooperation between Iran, Syria, Russia and Turkey for solving regional issues is a good model for overcoming other problems of Asian countries.

He made the remarks on Thursday on the sideline of the 11th plenary session of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly (APA) in Istanbul, Turkey.

Larijani described the cooperation of these four countries as a “successful” example, adding that this model can be applied to other economic, political, and security issues of Asia.

Regarding the APA, he said that Iran was among founders of this body and gradually other Asian countries joined it to the point that today most of the parliaments of Asian countries are a member of APA.

Elsewhere he pointed to the plans for holding the next year’s Asian Parliamentary Assembly in Iran.

The 11th plenary session of APA kicked off on Wednesday in Istanbul, Turkey, and it will continue until December 3.
