TEHRAN The Iranian Minister of Education Hossein Mozaffar met the Syrian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa Miru in Damascus Sunday night. In the meeting the two sides discussed the expansion of Tehran-Damascus cooperation in the areas of economy, education, culture and social affairs.

The ministers also reviewed the latest developments in the Palestinians' occupied lands and recent aggressions against the Palestinians by the Zionist regime.

The Iranian and Syrian officials put emphasis on the necessity for support of Palestinian's Intifada by Muslim states, establishment of an independent Palestinian state and the return of all homeless Palestinians to their homeland.
