The foreign ministers of Iran and Armenia have held talks about key bilateral, regional and international issues.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Ararat Mirzoyan discussed the most important issues regarding mutual relations and regional and international developments during an expanded-format meeting in Tehran on Monday, IRNA reported.

Armenia’s state news agency Armenpress also said that the two ministers had earlier held one-on-one talks.

Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said on Saturday that Mirzoyan’s visit comes as part of ongoing consultations between the two countries aimed at expanding bilateral ties and strengthening regional peace and security.

Baghaei added that the Armenian foreign minister is scheduled to meet with senior Iranian officials to discuss ways of developing bilateral cooperation and regional cooperation in the South Caucasus.
