"The second round of talks between Iran and Ukraine on plane crash was constructive, Moradi wrote in his Twitter account on Wednesday, saying that the second round of talks between the Iranian and Ukrainian deputy foreign ministers and expert delegations in Tehran has ended.
The two sides assessed the talks as "constructive" and stressed the need to resolve issues in accordance with international law, Moradi said.
The first round of talks was held on July 30-31, 2020, under the supervision of deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Mohsen Baharvand, in Kiev, Ukraine.
Iranian and Ukrainian officials started the second round of talks on the passenger plane crash on October 19 expected to continue until October 21.

Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs Mohsen Baharvand emphasized on Tuesday that the Islamic Republic of Iran never seeks to hide the details of the air disaster and violate the rights of the families of the victims.
Baharvand assured the families of the victims that the country's diplomatic apparatus, in coordination and cooperation with all relevant parties, will use all its capacities and efforts to remedy the rights of the victims.
He also stressed the determination of the Islamic Republic of Iran to sue and punish the perpetrators, administer justice, as well as compensate the survivors.
