Iran, Japan Discuss Closer Ties

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and his Japanese counterpart Toshimitsu Motegi held a telephone conversation on Wednesday night.

The two senior diplomats talked about various issues, including ways to promote cooperation between Tehran and Tokyo in all fields.

They also discussed the latest developments surrounding the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as well as major regional and international issues.

In August, Zarif paid a visit to Japan in a tour of Asia and held meetings with senior Japanese authorities, including Prime Minister Abe Shinzo.

During his stay in Japan, Zarif also delivered a speech at the Japan Institute of International Affairs (JIIA) about Iran’s foreign policy and held a meeting with prominent Japanese scholars, researchers, business people, and journalists.
