German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier will meet with his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif and Parliament’s Speaker Ali Larijani in Tehran. This will be the first visit of the head of German diplomacy to Tehran after the lifting of sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
One of the main topics of these meetings will be the situation in Syria, as well as negotiations in Geneva between representatives of the opposition and the Syrian government.
"We need Iran to resolve conflicts and to achieve stability in the region. I'm sure that Iran is also interested," TASS cited him as saying.
The top German diplomat will also later visit Riyadh to meet his Saudi counterpart Adel al-Jubeir.
