Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has arrived in Syria’s capital, Damascus, to discuss regional and international developments and the expansion of bilateral ties with top Syrian officials.
Heading a delegation, Zarif arrived at the Damascus International Airport on Tuesday and was welcomed by Syrian Deputy Foreign Minister Faisal Mekdad.
Zarif then visited the holy shrine of Hazrat Zaynab, the granddaughter of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH), south of Damascus.
During his one-day stay in Syria, the top Iranian diplomat is scheduled to hold talks with senior Syrian officials, including President Bashar al-Assad, Foreign Minister Walid Muallem, and Prime Minister Imad Khamis.
Zarif’s visit to Syria comes at the official invitation of President Assad, who visited Tehran in February.
During his trip to Iran, Assad held talks with Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and President Hassan Rouhani.
Zarif’s upcoming talks with Syrian officials are considered to be in line with the constant negotiations between Iran and Syria on bilateral ties, including the agreements made between Assad and Iranian President Rouhani during the Syrian president’s visit to Tehran.
