RNA – Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces Major General Mohammad-Hoseyn Baqeri ‎congratulated his counterparts in Islamic countries on Eid al-Fitr, the festive occasion marking ‎the end of the month of Ramadhan.‎

In a congratulatory message on Saturday, the senior Iranian general also pointed to the ‎current conditions in the international community following the outbreak of the coronavirus, ‎stressing the need to promote cordial cooperation among governments, nations and military ‎forces in the battle with the pandemic.‎

He also noted that the coronavirus outbreak has provided an ideal opportunity for Muslim ‎countries to express the values and excellence of the Islamic culture and the teachings of ‎Prophet Muhammad and to show the world the fortitude and cooperation of Muslims in ‎dealing with the disasters and tackling the problems in human communities.‎

Earlier this month, Major General Baqeri sent messages to his counterparts and the defense ‎ministers of Iraq, the Republic of Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, ‎Syria and Lebanon to offer help in handling the coronavirus pandemic.‎

‎“The Iranian Armed Forces are prepared to exchange the experiences that have been ‎achieved and offer them to the officials of friendly and brotherly countries,” the general said ‎in the message.‎

‎“The Islamic Republic of Iran’s successful performance in controlling the virus could provide ‎solutions for other Islamic nations and friendly and neighboring states,” the top commander ‎added.‎
