During the meeting, General Baqeri expressed the hope that terrorism would be soon uprooted from the entire Syria, reiterating the Iranian nation and government's continued support for the friendly state.

President Assad, for his part, appreciated the all-out support extended to his respective country by Iran's Supreme Leader and the people and government of the country to counter terrorism in Syria.
