Khaji briefed President al-Assad on the latest developments in the Iranian nuclear file and the progress of the negotiation process, which can reach positive results in case the Western countries respected all obligations and requirements related to this file.
Both sides also discussed developments on the regional and international arenas, the crisis created by the West between the Russian Federation and Ukraine, and the immoral practices it has adopted to fuel this crisis, including transferring the extremists from various parts of the world to that region and imposing sanctions on the Russian people as it has imposed on the Syrian and Iranian peoples before.
