TABNAK, Dec 07: “The first message is to support the government and nation of Syria in their fight against terrorist-Takfiri groups,” Araqchi said during a press conference after the meeting.

Over the past several days, Araqchi has traveled to key regional countries including Syria, Turkey and Iraq to exchange views on the latest regional developments, especially the situation in Syria.

He arrived in Baghdad on Friday to attend the trilateral meeting on Syria.
