The President stressed the need to preserve the cohesion and territorial integrity, respect for the national sovereignty and independence of the Syrian Arab Republic, and determine the fate of this country only in the hands of its people through Syrian-Syrian dialogues and without foreign interference as the basic and unchangeable principles shared by the Guarantor States of the Astana Process regarding Syria.Speaking at the beginning of the 7th Summit of the Guarantor States of the Astana Process at the Tehran Summit Hall, Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi said, "The illegal presence of the occupying forces of the American regime has become a destabilising factor for Syria and the region. America, while increasing illegal military bases, is looting natural resources of Syria, especially their oil, and I emphasise that it is necessary for the country's forces to withdraw from the entire region, including from Syria, as soon as possible".
