High-ranking officials from Iran, Switzerland and Syria plan to hold a trilateral meeting in Tehran in the near future to discuss ways to help resolve Syria’s more than four-year-old conflict.

In a meeting between Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian and his Swiss counterpart in Montreux, the two sides exchanged views on a range of issues, including the latest developments in war-hit Syria, Tasnim reported on Monday.

During the session, it was agreed that Iran, Switzerland and Syria hold trilateral talks on the Arab country’s crisis in Tehran.

Amir Abdollahian traveled to the Swiss city of Montreux to attend an annual meeting of the World Policy Conference (WPC) to express Tehran’s stances on regional developments in a special meeting of the conference on the West Asia situation.

Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011 with Takfiri terrorists from various groups, including the ISIL, currently controlling parts of it.
