TEHRAN, June 14 (Xinhua) -- Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Sunday left for Turkey's Istanbul for talks on bilateral relations and international issues, official IRNA news agency reported.
A high-ranking delegation accompanies Zarif during his one-day trip to the Turkish largest city, IRNA said.
Zarif is expected to meet his Turkish counterpart to discuss the current relations amid the anti-coronavirus efforts as well as major regional and international issues.
Iran and Turkey are considering reopening borders and resuming the flights which have been suspended since March over the COVID-19 pandemic.
On Monday, the Iranian foreign minister will fly to Moscow to review mutual and international issues with the Russian officials, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Thursday.
Zarif's visit to Turkey and Russia would be his second diplomatic trip after a recent slowdown in the COVID-19 epidemic.
Zarif visited Syria last month and discussed cooperation amid the impacts of the coronavirus and mounting western sanction pressure on Syria. Enditem
