Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian and the accompanying delegation arrived on Saturday at Damascus International Airport on a visit to Syria.
Syria’s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates Faisal Al-Mikdad said after welcoming Abdollahian “the visit is very important. We will discuss the results of the talks held by minister Abdollahian during his visits to Russia and Lebanon, as well as other issues relating to the Iranian nuclear file.”
Al-Mikdad stressed in this regard that Syria supports the efforts being exerted by the Iranian leadership concerning Iran’s nuclear file and strongly condemns all the US attempts that aim at manipulating this file and other files in the region.
“There are also some developments that will be discussed in a high spirit of cooperation to serve the mutual interests of both countries,” Al-Mikdad pointed out.
On his part, the Iranian top diplomat said “our relations with Syria are strategic and we are keen on boosting cooperation between the two countries in different domains”, pointing out that intensive programs have been put to implement the important agreements signed between two sides on cooperation in economy, trade and tourism.
“Syria is on the way towards progress and prosperity and during this stage, Iran will strongly and firmly supports the country as it did during the terrorist war imposed on it,”
