Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh confirmed the arrival of a Syrian delegation headed by Syrian Foreign Minister Faisal al-Miqdad to Tehran on Sunday.

The delegation includes Deputy Syrian Foreign Minister Bashar al-Jaafari. They are scheduled to meet with top Iranian officials, including Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian. 

This is al-Miqdad's second visit to Iran since assuming his position. The discussions include strengthening strategic relations between the two nations.

In November, al-Miqdad phoned Amir-Abdollahian and they discussed economic and touristic cooperation, in addition to developments in the region alongside regional and international issues, after which Amir-Abdollahian invited the Syrian FM to Iran to continue to follow up on their discussions. 

Days ago, Syria welcomed a delegation headed by the Minister of Industry, Mine, and Trade, Reza Fatemi Amin, who met with Syrian officials and opened the second exhibition of Iranian products and services in Syria.
