TEHRAN – Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was scheduled to visit India on Sunday night at the head of a high-ranking politico-economic delegation, spokesman Bahram Qassemi said earlier in the day.

According to Qassemi, Zarif’s visit to India aims to discuss the condition of bilateral relations and ways to deepen them.

He will also exchange views with top Indian officials on the latest regional and international developments, the spokesman added.

Iran and India have enjoyed close relations in political, economic, energy and transit fields in recent years.

The visit is taking place after Trump withdrew the U.S. from the internationally binding nuclear agreement.
