In the telephone conversation, the focus was on assisting in the political settlement of the Syrian crisis in accordance with Security Council Resolution 2254, unanimously adopted on 18 December 2015, calling for a ceasefire and political settlement in Syria, and humanitarian aid to the Syrian people.
Both sides stressed the need for humanitarian assistance to Syria without political considerations.
The Iranian Ambassador and the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister also discussed some issues of bilateral relations, as well as regional and international issues.
