TEHRAN, Dec. 30 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi said on Monday that Iran and Oman are on the same page about the necessity to form an inclusive government in Syria.

He made the remarks at a joint press conference with visiting Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr bin Hamad bin Hamood Al Busaidi following their meeting in the Iranian capital Tehran earlier in the day, where they discussed Syria's situation in detail.

Araghchi said, "We agree on the necessity to maintain Syria's territorial integrity, unity and solidarity, respect all ethnic and religious groups in the country and form an inclusive government in the Arab state."

He said Iran's positions on Syria have many similarities with those of Oman and many other regional countries, all of which seek to ensure Syria's independence and stability.

The Omani foreign minister, for his part, said his country supports the policy of non-interference in other states' internal affairs.

He said the Syria issues should move in a direction that enables the Arab state to play its role on the international stage.

A militant alliance led by the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham group waged a major military operation from northern Syria on Nov. 27. It swept southwards, captured the capital Damascus, and overthrew former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government within 12 days. Enditem
