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.

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.
