During the meeting, which took place on the sidelines of the Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meetings in Geneva, Guminsky pointed out to the deep bilateral relations between both countries, stressing that Syria will achieve victory on terrorism soon with the support of Russia.

For his part, al-Laham affirmed the necessity of enhancing efforts to combat terrorism and extremism and confronting the attempts of some states to impose their political agenda over the world.
