MOSCOW (Reuters) – The presidents of Russia
and Iran agreed on Monday to step up bilateral contacts, including over
the Syrian conflict, in which both countries are allies of President
Bashar al-Assad.
The Syrian government and Western-backed opposition are
currently holding U.N.-mediated peace talks as part of a diplomatic push
launched with U.S.-Russian support to end the five-year conflict in
which more than a quarter of a million people have been killed.
The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin and Iran’s
Hassan Rouhani had exchanged views on the conflict and a range of other
topical issues during a telephone call. It gave no further details.
Rouhani was quoted as saying cooperation and coordination between Tehran and Moscow were essential for peace in Syria.
