Regarding the Russian military operation in Ukraine, President al-Assad renewed Syria's stance in support of Russia's right to defend its national security. President Putin considered that the Russian military operation is a battle for existence and that the West tried to destabilize Russia, but Russia was able to adapt and even achieved economic growth despite the war.
 
The talks dealt with regional initiatives supported by Moscow, where President Al-Assad affirmed that Syria is in dialogue if it leads to achieving the interests of the Syrian people and the unity and integrity of the Syrian lands and leads to clear results, the first of which is the continuation of the fight against terrorism and the exit of the illegal foreign forces present on its territory.

Regarding West Asia, the two Presidents welcomed the resumption of diplomatic relations between Saudi Arabia and Iran and considered it a step that reflects positively on the region and the world.
 
At the end of the extensive session, President Putin hosted a lunch in honor of President al-Assad's visit.
