The 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was also among the topics discussed by the two sides.

The top Japanese diplomat highlighted the importance of exploring avenues to promote relations between Tehran and Tokyo.

He expressed Japan’s support for the JCPOA and stressed the need for all signatories to the deal to live up to their obligations.

He also expressed hope as the pandemic situation improves, he will be able to visit Tehran in the near future.

Zarif, for his part, welcomed the enhancement of relations between the two countries and the upcoming trip to Tehran by his opposite number.
