TEHRAN (AFP) - Syrian President Bashar al-Assad arrived in Iran on Wednesday to congratulate his counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his re-election.
He will hold talks with Ahmadinejad, who is due to unveil his cabinet on Wednesday, and other high-ranking officials in Iran, Syria's key regional ally.
Assad last visited Iran in August 2008.
His current trip comes after France praised Syria for helping secure the release on bail of French university teaching assistant Clotilde Reiss and an Iranian employee at the French embassy in Tehran.
The two were detained for their alleged role in the riots that broke out after Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election.
