MOSCOW, April 27. /TASS/. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi will visit Russia on Monday to discuss ways to resolve the conflict in the Middle East. He is expected to be hosted by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Earlier, a Russian Foreign Ministry official confirmed to TASS that Araghchi would visit Russia "for talks." Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, in turn, said that the head of state was scheduled to meet with the Iranian minister.
Tehran’s Ambassador to Moscow Kazem Jalali pointed out that Iran’s top diplomat planned "to hold consultations with the Russian authorities on the current situation in the talks, the ceasefire and developments around the conflict" in the Middle East.
Russia and Iran have maintained communication since the start of the US-Israeli aggression against Tehran, with the two countries’ presidents and foreign ministers holding telephone conversations.
"Given bilateral relations between the two countries and the fact that Iran and Russia, as neighbors, see eye-to-eye on a number of regional and international issues, we have seen regular communication at the high and top levels," the diplomat noted.
