Iranian and Syrian foreign ministers on Saturday highlighted the two countries' determination to implement the agreements reached during a recent visit by the Iranian president to Syria.

In a phone call, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Syrian counterpart Faisal Mekdad exchanged views on the latest developments in bilateral ties and regional issues, according to a statement published on the Iranian Foreign Ministry's website.

The Syrian foreign minister detailed his country's recent successes in ties with other Arab states and noted the presence of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad at the Arab League Summit held in the Saudi Arabian city of Jeddah in May after 12 years of absence.

Amir-Abdollahian described the Syrian successes as "positive and constructive."

Leading a group of top ministers, Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi arrived in Syria on May 3, marking the first visit by an Iranian president since the beginning of the Syrian war in 2011.

During his trip, Raisi and Assad signed several memorandums of understanding for long-term and comprehensive cooperation in various fields, including oil, communications, civil aviation, railways and agriculture, among others, according to Syria's state news agency SANA.
