As reported by a press release from Syrian presidency, both sides debated on some steps to boost collaboration and to agree alliances and associations in all fields, particularly commerce and economy, thus allowing both nations to confront the blockade imposed by the adherence to their independent and sovereign decisions.

The Syrian president claimed that the existing cooperation has provided positive outcomes in shielding the interests of the two friendly peoples, especially in the crackdown on terrorism.

Mr. Bashar al-Assad doubled down on Syria’s strong-mindedness to go on cracking down on terrorism.

Hussein Amir Abdullahian, on the other hand, said that Iran and Syria have reached great victories in fighting terrorism and reiterated his country’s continuing support for Damascus to confront this scourge.
