Raisi arrived in Damascus on Wednesday morning for a two-day
visit that includes extensive political and economic talks with the signing of
a number of agreements, according to the official Syrian News Agency.
Before talks begin, an official reception ceremony was held
for Iranian official guests.
The visit, said to last two days, will see the participation
of high-level political and economic delegations. Former president of the
Islamic Republic of Iran, Hassan Rouhani and Assad are set to hold talks on
bilateral relations and common political and economic files, in addition to
discussing positive developments in the region.
Official news from Tehran through the government spokesman
stated that the visit comes in a response to an invitation from Assad and is
strategic importance for both countries and is aimed at economic advancement.
Raisi’s visit comes as some Arab countries, including Egypt
and regional powerhouse Saudi Arabia, have been opening up to Assad and their
foreign ministers have visited Damascus in recent weeks.
Syria’s foreign minister also visited the Saudi capital of
Riyadh in April, the first such visit since the two countries cut relations in
2012.
The visit is the first by an Iranian president in more than
12-years, despite the significant economic, political, and military support
Tehran has provided to the country.
