He added, “We have to restore consideration to the October 14 Revolution through steadfastness and persistence on our national stance opposing in word and deed all forms of dependency and occupation.”

He confirmed the great keenness on reaching a just, comprehensive and sustainable peace, and openness to all efforts aimed at ensuring an end to the aggressive war and the full lifting of the blockade on the country.
