President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, who attended the Tripartite Summit held in Iran's capital Tehran with the participation of President Hassan Rouhani and Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin, met with Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran.

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has met with Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran, after holding trilateral talks with the Iranian and Russian presidents Hassan Rouhani and Vladimir Putin in Tehran, according to Khamenei’s website.

The Tehran summit had focused on the imminent Syrian regime attack on Idlib, the largest remaining opponents-controlled territory in Syria, whereas Erdoğan’s meeting with Khamenei appears to have centered on the common ground shared by the two countries.

"Iran and Turkiye are two powerful and dignified countries of the region and share the same motivations for the Muslim World; thus, political and economic relations between the two countries should expand,” read Khamenei’s statement on the meeting.
