Syrian President Bashar al Assad said on Thursday Syria welcomes the efforts and contacts made by Iran with the aim of solving the Syrian crisis, SANA reported.

The Syrian people trust the role Iran has always played in support of the people of the region and their just causes, he added during a meeting with Iranian Assistant Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdullahian and the accompanying delegation.

The meeting discussed the scourge of terrorism and the threats posed against Syrian people and the people of the region’s countries.

The ideas put forth in the regional and international arena to activate the political track to solve the crisis in Syria were also on the table.

Abdullahian said Iran is keen to help the Syrian people in their war against terrorism and to have them realize their interests and aspirations without any foreign interference.

Tehran, he added, will spare no effort that could help in re-establishing stability in Syria and contribute to combating terrorism on the regional and international levels.
