Iran’s foreign ministry said Saturday that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will visit Tehran in the coming days to meet his Iranian counterpart and discuss “regional and international developments.”
“The visit … will be carried out within the framework of ongoing consultations between Iran and Russia on bilateral relations and regional and international developments,” Iranian foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei said, according to a statement by the ministry.
Iran’s Tasnim news agency had earlier reported that Lavrov will visit on Tuesday to discuss Syrian developments with his Iranian counterpart.
Russia and Iran were the main allies of ousted Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
