During this meeting, Araghchi referred to his intensive discussions the previous day in Damascus with President Bashar al-Assad of Syria and shared mutual concerns regarding a new wave of terrorism and insecurity in the region. He emphasized the necessity for cooperation and synergy among regional countries, especially between Iran and Turkey, to safeguard stability and security.
