The foreign ministers of Iran, Iraq, and Syria have met in the Iraqi capital Baghdad to discuss the latest developments in Syria.

According to The Iran Project, Talks began on Friday afternoon at the Iraqi Foreign Ministry building with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein, and Syrian Foreign Minister Bassam Sabbagh exchanging views on the situation in Syria. 

Speaking to reporters, Araghchi said the unfolding developments in the Arab country necessitate protracted and serious negotiations.

He emphasized that his visit to Baghdad comes as part of his regional tour addressing the recent uptick in acts of terror in northwestern Syria.

Araghchi said the status quo in West Asia, particularly in Syria, is very sensitive, requiring consultations and coordination among all concerned countries.

Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani later received Araghchi, saying Iraq's official and consistent position is to support Syria's unity, security, and stability.

Sudani said Iraq continues to make vigorous diplomatic efforts to contain the crisis in Syria due to the direct impact which it has on its security.
