Iranian foreign minister pays visit to Tajikistan
By Trend
Foreign Minister of Iran Mohammad Javad Zarif paid an official visit to Tajikistan.
The main purpose of the visit is the opening of a new building of Iran’s embassy in Tajikistan, Tajik media reported.
Iranian foreign minister is also expected to meet with President of Tajikistan Emomali Rahmon.
Zarif will also meet with the speakers of the lower and upper chambers of the Tajik parliament. These meetings will be devoted to the current state of Tajik-Iranian relations. This is the first visit of a high-ranking Iranian official to Tajikistan over the past two years.
The relations between the two countries deteriorated in 2013 for a number of reasons. Later, Tajik government limited the import of Iranian goods. A number of Iranian companies and funds in Tajikistan were closed.
However, the current visit of the Iranian minister to Tajikistan is a promising factor for the improvement of bilateral relations.
