According to Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi, Zarif will depart for Italy on Thursday to attend the third edition of Mediterranean Dialogues, which is due to be held in Rome.
The Iranian top diplomat, a keynote speaker in the conference, will make the visit at the official invitation of his Italian counterpart Angelino Alfano, he added.
“The conference is based on the four pillars of shared security, shared prosperity, migration, and civil society and culture,” Qassemi added.
