In a telephone conversation on Sunday, Amir Abdollahian congratulated Fidan on taking office, and expressed hope that the close cooperation between Tehran and Ankara would continue to grow under the new Turkish government.

Highlighting the significance of cooperation between Iran and Turkey in the regional issues, Amir Abdollahian stressed the need to activate the regional mechanisms.

He also emphasized the necessity for the acceleration of plans for the expansion of bilateral relations, inviting Fidan to pay a visit to Iran.

For his part, the Turkish diplomat stressed the importance of dialogue and close cooperation between Turkey and Iran over the bilateral and regional issues.

He also expressed readiness to contribute to the promotion of Ankara’s relations with Tehran, adding that he will travel to Iran soon.
