Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, who has travelled to Japan after visiting China, held talks with his Japanese counterpart Taro Kono on Tuesday.
In the meeting, the two senior diplomats discussed Tehran-Tokyo bilateral ties, the latest developments and diplomatic activities surrounding the implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), major regional and international developments, including the situation in the Persian Gulf and the Middle East, and a series of other issues of mutual interest.
Heading a diplomatic delegation, Zarif is on a tour of Asia that took him earlier to China. He will be visiting Malaysia afterwards.
Zarif has made several foreign trips in recent weeks, after being blacklisted by the US government.
Before the tour of Asia, the Iranian top diplomat visited Kuwait, three Scandinavian capitals, and France.
