Syria’s Bashar al-Assad on Monday arrived in the Iranian capital for his first announced visit since the beginning of Syrian crisis in 2011, Anadolu agency cited the report of SANA news agency.
Assad held talks with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, said the report.
Rouhani and Assad reportedly expressed satisfaction "to the strategic level reached by the relations."
Iran has been politically and militarily supporting Assad regime against opposition forces in the war-torn country.
Rouhani briefed Assad on a recent trilateral summit on Syria between Turkish, Russian and Iranian leaders held in Sochi, Russia earlier this month.
During his meeting with Khamenei, Assad congratulated him on the 40th anniversary of the Iranian Islamic revolution, and discussed regional developments, according to SANA.
The report did not clarify whether Assad returned home after the visit.
