According to Zarif, this is the central point on the agenda of the meetings in Moscow, although there will be others of mutual interest.
The visitor, reflected Press TV, thanked Russia and China for their rejection of the US policy aimed at undermining the Jcpoa and imposing global sanctions on the Islamic Republic.

The head of Iranian diplomacy announced that he will talk with Lavrov about the peace process in Afghanistan, as well as the situation and coordination with Moscow and Ankara in the conflict in Syria.
