UK and Iranian foreign ministers meet in Kabul

British foreign secretary William Hague met his Iranian counterpart on Thursday, Reuters news agency reports.

Hague and Iran's Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi discussed the Islamic Republic's nuclear negotiations with world powers as well as bilateral issues during their meeting at the sidelines of a conference in the Afghan capital Kabul.

The meeting can be considered the highest level diplomatic contact between the two nations since the storming of the British embassy in Tehran late last year.
