Syria President Bashar al-Assad was in Russia on a surprise visit where he was assured by President Vladimir Putin on the impending departure of "foreign armed forces".

The Russia President said:
"We presume that, in connection with the significant victories and success of the Syrian army in the fight against terrorism, with the onset of a more active part, with the onset of the political process in its more active phase, foreign armed forces will be withdrawn from the territory of the Syrian Arab Republic."
President Assad's "surprise" visit comes just over a week after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trip to Moscow where he said:
"Given what is happening in Syria at this very moment, there is a need to ensure the continuation of military coordination between the Russian military and the Israel Defence Forces."
Netanyahu added:
"In previous meetings, given statements that were putatively attributed to -- or were made by -- the Russian side, it was meant to have limited our freedom of action or harm other interests and that didn't happen, and I have no basis to think that this time will be different."
