Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Russian counterpart, Mikhail Bogdanov, discussed the latest regional developments, including the crises in Syria and Yemen in a telephone conversation, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday.
The two sides talked about the latest developments regarding the upcoming round of international talks on the Syria crisis, the third this year, which is reportedly scheduled to be held in New York on December 18-19.
The senior Iranian and Russian officials also discussed ways to bolster the political process in Syria.
