Zarif to Go on Regional Tour for Reinforcing Relations

Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif is to set off on a tour of regional countries in the coming days to help enhance cooperation and strengthen business, economic and political ties.  
Zarif’s first destination will be India where he is to head a large business delegation made up of private sector representatives. 
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi said Zarif will then head to Iraq. 
“In the near future, the foreign minister will make visits to neighboring countries in line with Iran’s permanent and unchanging policy on neighbors,” the spokesman said on Friday, ISNA reported.
Qasemi added that Iran’s attitude toward regional countries has always been based on the notions of “peaceful coexistence, better relations and collective effort to ensure peace, sustainable security and closer economic cooperation”.
