In a Wednesday meeting with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Jaberi Ansari in Damascus, Syrian PM Khamis appreciated Iran’s economic and political support for Syria, and emphasized that business ties between the two countries have to be boosted.

The Syrian prime minister said the Arab country has invited Iran’s First Vice-President Es’haq Jahangiri to visit Damascus.
