The top Iranian diplomat made the remarks in Tehran on Tuesday at a meeting with Gabriela Cuevas Barron, the head of the foreign relations committee of Mexico’ Senate of the Republic.
During the meeting, the Iranian foreign minister appealed for concerted efforts to fight against terrorism within the framework of international and regional cooperation.
