The source told IRNA the plans are on the agenda of the talks between the two countries oil ministers who will meet on the sidelines of the the summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) next week in Doha.
The source added that the possible focus of the talks between the oil ministers of Iran and Qatar will be more on world markets and gas trade.
