Tehran (ISNA) - Iranian Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stressed that Iran and Syria have agreed that Astana process should continue to operate.

"We have witnessed great progress in the implementation of the economic, commercial, and technological agreements between the two countries in recent weeks," he added.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian top diplomats stressed that Iran and Syria have agreed that Astana process should continue to operate and holding a meeting on the level of foreign ministers and presidents of Astana process member states is on the agenda of all parties.
He also noted, "We understand the concerns of Türkiye regarding the security of the common borders with Syria, but we believe that military presence in Syria is not the solution".
"The Iran-Russia-Syria-Türkiye quadrilateral meeting is the most appropriate diplomatic path for the agreement and establishment of security on the common borders of Syria and Türkiye," Amir-Abdollahian emphasized.
