Iranian FM due in Tbilisi tomorrow
Baku, November 2 (AZERTAC). Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki heading a high-ranking delegation is scheduled to visit Tbilisi on Wednesday to meet senior Georgian official and discuss the latest developments in the relations between the two countries as well as important regional issues.
During his two-day visit to Tbilisi, Mottaki is slated to hold meetings with his Georgian counterpart Grigol Vashadze and other senior officials of the country.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehman-Parast had earlier said that Mottaki is due to discuss ways to further develop bilateral relations and mutual cooperation with Georgia during the visit.
He also reiterated that Iran and Georgia are scheduled to discuss the issue of lifting visa requirements for the two countries` nationals and the inauguration of Iran`s new consulate in the main port of Georgia, Batumi.
Noting that Mottaki will be accompanied by a number of businessmen, Mehman-Parast said that they hope to find grounds for further expansion of economic cooperation between the two countries.
Mehman-Parast also paid a visit to Tbilisi in May, where he voiced Iran`s willingness to continue expansion of ties with Georgia at the highest levels, and stated that the two sides` officials will soon sign a document on lifting visa requirements for exchange of visits by the two countries` nationals.
Mottaki and Vashadze had earlier in September conferred on the latest developments in the relations between Tehran and Tbilisi.
During the meeting held on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York, the two sides studied bilateral ties and also the latest conditions in the region.
