Iran’s envoy urges cooperation to fight against terrorism

Iran’s Ambassador to Tajikistan Ali-Asghar Sherdoust here on Thursday underscored the need to boost all-out international cooperation to fight against terrorism.

He regretted that the world of Islam has always been the target of terrorism throughout the globe.

He reiterated that the so-called advocates of anti-terrorism campaign, themselves, are the root cause of expansion of terrorism in the world.

He referred to terrorism as the main obstacle in the way of materialization of global peace, stressing that international coalition and all-out cooperation are only ways to fight against such an evil phenomenon.

The Iranian envoy further expressed concern over expansion of terrorist operations in the Middle East region, saying the phenomenon is the major result of invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq by foreign military forces.

On the ongoing International Conference on Global Fight Against Terrorism to be held in Tehran on June 25-26, he expressed hope that the event would be successful in finding solutions to the terrorism problem in the world.

Representatives from over 60 world countries and regional and international organizations are to attend the conference.

Tajik President Imomali Rakhmon, heading a high-ranking delegation, will leave Dushanbe for Tehran to take part in the event, Sherdoust announced.
