Zarif to visit Afghanistan on May 7

Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry Bahram Qasemi announced here on Saturday that Zarif is scheduled to meet Afghan President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive of that country Abdullah Abdullah.

Different aspects of Tehran-Kabul relations and the ways to promote the current level of bilateral ties as well as the latest international and regional developments are among the issues to be discussed during Zarif’s visit to Kabul, Qasemi noted.

Zarif recently took a trip to Pakistan.
