Syrian President Bashar al-Assad will pay an official visit to Moscow in mid-March.
Ednews reports that "Vedomosti" published information about this with reference to sources.
"The purpose of Assad's visit will be to receive financial and energy assistance from the Russian leadership. Damascus' need for Moscow's support may arise against the background of Iran's increase in prices for the supply of oil products to Syria and the consequences of the earthquake," the report said.
