Referring to years of resistance by the Syrian nation and government against terrorist groups and their supporters, Velayati said resistance movement will win undoubtedly.
Velayati further described the recent parliamentary elections in Syria as an important action that proved power of the Syrian government which attaches importance to people's votes.
The US and certain countries who are advocates of terrorists and extremists want a puppet state in Syria, a dream which will never come true, he added.
On Iran's military presence in Syria, Velayati said such presence is due to request of Syria's legitimate government.
For his part, the Syrian ambassador appreciated Iran's support for his country.
Despite all difficulties created by opposition groups and terrorists, Syria will make endeavors to reach a plan which takes nation's interests into consideration after five years of resistance, he said.
Adnan Mahmoud said the proposals presented by the opposition and terrorist groups are like those of by the Zionist regime.
Unfortunately ,he said, certain Arab countries that are advocates of terrorists have taken no stance against the Zionist regime's measures.
Meanwhile, they (Arab states) do everything against the Muslim and other Arab nations in the region, he stressed.
