Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, Iran's Foreign Minister, stated that he was in Syria to help foster peace and security between Damascus and Turkey.

In an interview on Saturday, Amir-Abdollahian stated that the trip followed his recent trip to Turkey and that it was critical to speak with Syrian officials as well.

Regional developments need the Islamic Republic of Iran's constant constructive involvement in preventing a new crisis in the region, according to the Foreign Minister.

He stated that his journey to Syria was intended in part at promoting peace and security between Syria and Turkey, as both countries have close ties with Iran.

According to Amir-Abdollahian, the upcoming trip would include bilateral talks on numerous regional and international problems, as well as meetings with Syrian leaders, including President Bashar Al-Assad.
