President Bashar Assad has traveled to Moscow in his first known trip abroad since the war broke out in Syria in 2011 to meet his strongest ally Russian leader Vladimir Putin, Syrian and Russian media reported Wednesday.

A statement posted on the Syrian presidency’s official Facebook page said Assad met with Putin on Tuesday to discuss the continuation of the military operations against terrorism in Syria. The aim of the military operation is to eradicate terrorism that is obstructing a political solution, the statement said.

The post included a photo of Assad with a wide smile shaking hands with Putin. Russian television showed footage of Putin and Russia’s foreign and defense ministers meeting with Assad and his adviser.

Putin thanked Assad for “accepting our invitation and coming to Moscow despite a tragic situation in your country.”

Assad praised Russia’s anti-terror efforts since the beginning of his country’s war. “Terrorism which we see spreading today could have been more widespread and more harmful if it weren’t for your decisions and steps, not only in our region,” Assad said in remarks carried by Arab media.

“The Syrian people have been putting up a fight against international terrorism effectively on its own for several years, sustaining sizeable losses but it has achieved positive results recently,” Putin said.
