The President of Syria holds a meeting with the President of Syria

Iranian President Ibrahim Raisi met with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Wednesday and the two leaders discussed expanding cooperation between the countries. Government media has given this information. Since the March 2011 uprising against the government of President Bashar al-Assad in Syria, Iran has consistently supported his government, sending a large number of military advisers and thousands of Iranian-backed fighters to fight on Assad’s side. Syrian government forces, with strong support from Russia and Iran, have been able to hold large swaths of the country in recent years.

In an interview to Al-Mayadeen television channel, Raeesi called for reconstruction efforts and the return of people who had left the country because of the war. Raeesi was received by Syrian Economic Affairs Minister Samer al-Khalil upon his arrival at Damascus International Airport. Syrian state media reported that Raisi told Assad during the meeting, “The government of Syria and its people have faced a lot of difficulties. Today we can say that you have overcome all the problems and you live despite the restrictions.
