Syrian, Iranian FMs have tea
2009-04-09
"One lump or two, Walid?"
"One please, Manuchehr. My triglycerides are a trifle high."
TEHRAN — Visiting Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Al-Muallem on Wednesday affirmed Iran's significant role at the regional level and praised its stances of support for Arab causes. Speaking at a news conference with his Iranian counterpart, Manuchehr Motaki, in the Iranian capital, Al-Muallem said his visit to Iran was part of continuous coordination between the two countries.

Syria will not play a mediation role in the Iranian nuclear issue because Damascus believes that Tehran's program is peaceful, he said. Mottaki said the talks with the Syrian minister dealt with a host of regional and international issues.

The Iranian foreign minister said the world should prepare for global cleansing of nuclear arms.

He added that the talks with the senior Syrian official dealt with various issues including Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, Palestine and Israel's formation of a new government. "We have called the new government (in Israel) as the unmasked government for the previous governments masked their real intentions, " he said, alluding to the new cabinet led by ultra right-wing leaders.
