Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian arrived in Damascus on Wednesday and said Iran's priority was to strengthen strategic ties in a changing global scene after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
Amirabdollahian told reporters on his arrival that his country stood with Syria in "the same trench" and that ties with Damascus were going through their best phase.
"We are talking about strategic ties and today, aside from all the dimensions of our relationship, the issue of economic relations is the priority," he told reporters.
