Expressing gratitude for the hospitality of the government and people of Tunisia, Zarif conveyed President Hassan Rouhani's regards to his Tunisian counterpart.

Meanwhile, Essebsi sympathized with victims of June 7 terrorist attacks in Tehran.

Tunisian president called Iran a civilized country, saying that Tunisia is ready to develop ties with Iran.
