Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has already visited Islamabad and Muscat to “closely coordinate” with regional partners
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Russia, where he is expected to meet President Vladimir Putin and other top officials to discuss the ongoing Middle East conflict amid stalled talks with the US.
The Iranian delegation’s plane landed in St. Petersburg at around 5:30am local time on Monday. Iranian Ambassador to Russia Kazem Jalali said Araghchi would hold consultations with Russian officials on “the current status of talks, the ceasefire, and developments around the conflict” with the US and Israel.
Russia’s Foreign Ministry earlier confirmed Araghchi’s visit, while Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Putin had a meeting with the Iranian diplomat on his schedule.
The trip marks the final leg of Araghchi’s regional tour of Pakistan, Oman, and Russia, which he has described as an effort to “closely coordinate” with partners amid the standoff with Washington and West Jerusalem.
In Pakistan, he shared Tehran’s position on a “workable framework to permanently end the war on Iran,” while adding that it remained to be seen whether the US was “truly serious about diplomacy.”
