IBNA- At a meeting with Syrian Deputy Minister of Information, Iran's Culture Minister Mohammad-Mehdi Esmaili praised Syrian nation and government's resistance against terrorism and called for strengthening interaction and cooperation between Iranian and Syrian media.
Referring to the Iranian movie 'Damascus Time' and other culture and art productions which express the resistance of the Syrian people against terrorism Esmaili said: those involved in culture, art and media in our country are ready to cooperate in joint productions to accomplish this task and Iran's Ministry of Culture will take any necessary action which leads to the improvement of cultural, artistic and media interactions with the friendly country of Syria.
