Syria’s parliament speaker Mohammad Jihad al-Laham is set to arrive in Tehran on Tuesday to hold talks with the country’s senior officials, an Iranian lawmaker announced.

Mansour Haqiqatpour said on Monday that the Syrian parliament speaker would hold talks with senior officials including President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Saeed Jalili and Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi as well as his Iranian counterpart Ali Larijani.

Haqiqatpour said bilateral ties as well as the latest regional and international developments would be discussed by the two countries’ officials.

The Iranian lawmaker said one of the most important issues on the agenda of talks would be the Geneva summit on Syria which was held on Saturday.

The new Syrian parliament began work on May 24 under a new constitution approved by a majority of voters in a February referendum.
