In the meeting held in Tehran, Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli and his Syrian counterpart, Mohammad Ibrahim al-Shaar, exchanged views about a range of issues, including Tehran-Damascus relations and the latest developments in the Middle East region.

The two ministers then attended a joint press conference in Tehran.

Major General Shaar arrived in Tehran on Sunday and was welcomed by Babak Dinparast, the head of information and international affairs department of the Iranian Interior Ministry.

Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011 with Takfiri terrorists from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) currently controlling parts of it, mostly in the east.

According to the United Nations, more than 220,000 people have been killed and one million wounded during the conflict.

In the meantime, Iran has remained a close ally of Syria and supports its legitimate government in the face of foreign-backed militancy.

Earlier on June 2, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani hailed the resistance of the Syrian government and people against foreign-backed terrorist groups in the Arab country, saying that Tehran is determined to side with Damascus to the end of the crisis.
