Iran, Russia, China envoys discuss developments in Syria

TEHRAN, Dec.10 (MNA) – The Iranian, Russian, and Chinese ambassadors to Lebanon have met to discuss regional issues, particularly the latest developments in Syria. Iranian Ambassador Ghazanfar Roknabadi said that the plans hatched by the United States and the Zionist regime to bring the Syrian government to its knees and compel the Syrian leadership to withdraw support for the resistance movement are close to complete failure. Chinese Ambassador Wu Zexian also disapproved of major powers’ plots against and foreign intervention in Syria under the pretext of defending democracy and human rights. If major powers are concerned about people’s problems, they had better to redirect the funds that they spend to wage war and create crisis into resolving their internal issues and improving their people’s living standards, he said according to a translation of his remarks. Russian Ambassador Alexander Zasypkin said that his country is opposed to foreign intervention in Iran and Syria, adding that regional issues should be settled through dialogue.
