Tehran, Sept. 10 (Xinhua-ANI): Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said Monday that Iran will attend "contact group" meeting on Syria in Cairo, the Arabic language Al-Alam TV reported.
Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian has left Tehran for the Egyptian capital of Cairo to attend the meeting, Mehmanparast was quoted as saying.
Iran will offer its proposals to "add more countries to contact group and to moderate Egypt's plan" to settle the Syrian crisis in this meeting, said the Iranian spokesman.
In the contact group, Iran is the only country which supports the Syrian government and its President Bashar al-Assad while three other countries have called for the resignation of Assad.
A four-party "contact group" on Syria comprises officials from Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and Turkey.
The meeting was proposed by Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi at the summit of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation in Saudi Arabia in August. (Xinhua-ANI)
