During the meeting, Salehi elaborated on the Islamic Republic of Iran's 6-point plan to settle the crisis in Syria, and said all-out cooperation among all sides to reach the best situation as soon as possible is highly important.
"Resolving the Syrian issue takes place in the form of a process through which action should be taken to resolve the problems," he added at the meeting which took place on the sidelines of the Munich Security Conference in Germany and at Salehi's residence in Munich.
Al-Khatib, for his part, referred to certain political differences in Syria, and meantime, said, "We are all brothers in faith", implying that the problems in Syria should be seen as a family problem which needs to be solved only by the family members.
Syria has been experiencing unrest since March 2011 with organized attacks by well-armed gangs against Syrian police forces and border guards being reported across the country.
Hundreds of people, including members of the security forces, have been killed, when some protest rallies turned into armed clashes.
The government blames outlaws, saboteurs, and armed terrorist groups for the deaths, stressing that the unrest is being orchestrated from abroad.
The US and its western and regional allies have long sought to topple Assad and his ruling system. Media reports said that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
The US daily, Washington Post, reported in May that the Syrian rebels and terrorist groups battling the President Bashar al-Assad's government have received significantly more and better weapons in recent weeks, a crime paid for by the Persian Gulf Arab states and coordinated by the United States.
The newspaper, quoting opposition activists and US and foreign officials, reported that Obama administration officials emphasized the administration has expanded contacts with opposition military forces to provide the Persian Gulf nations with assessments of rebel credibility and command-and-control infrastructure.
Opposition activists who several months ago said the rebels were running out of ammunition said in May that the flow of weapons - most bought on the black market in neighboring countries or from elements of the Syrian military in the past - has significantly increased after a decision by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and other Persian Gulf states to provide millions of dollars in funding each month.
