FM Zarif also emphasised the transit plans and the need for facilitation of visa issuance for truck drivers.

He further pointed to the special importance Iran attaches to peace, stability and democracy in the region.

“Political talks between deputy foreign ministers of Iran and Kyrgyzstan were positive and had a great impact on the improvement of relations in various dimensions,” noted Zarif.
