The meeting focused on the countries' bilateral relations, as well as their constructive cooperation in several fields.
Moreover, the importance of the Syrian and Iranian parliaments in paving the road for bilateral collaboration, not only in the public sector, but also in the private sector, was stressed during the meeting.
