External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar's planned visit to Iran comes against the backdrop of growing global concerns over Houthi members targeting merchant vessels in the Red Sea amid the Israel-Hamas conflict.
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will pay a two-day visit to Iran beginning Monday to discuss with his Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian a range of key issues including the unfolding security situation in the Red Sea. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said the two ministers will deliberate on bilateral, regional and global issues.
"External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar will visit Iran on January 14 to 15 as part of the ongoing high-level exchanges between the two sides," it said on Saturday.
"He will meet Foreign Minister of Iran Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and hold discussions on bilateral, regional and global issues," the MEA said in a statement.
