TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will begin a tour of Qatar and Iraq on Sunday, April 25.
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh said on Saturday that the top Iranian diplomat will be leading a delegation in the trip to the two Arab countries.
The visit to Iraq and Qatar will be made to enhance the bilateral relations and hold regional and extra-regional negotiations, the spokesman added.
