Iran FM arrives in Dhaka

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif along with his wife and high officials from the Iranian foreign ministry has arrived Dhaka in a special flight from Beijing Wednesday. Foreign Secretary Md Shahidul Haque received him at the airport.
This is his second round of visits in this region after tours to India and Pakistan in August after the nuclear deal was clinched in Vienna.
He came to brief Bangladesh’s leadership on the nuclear deal that the world powers struck with his country.
Before his arrival, the foreign office in Dhaka said during his day-long visit, Zarif would call on President Md Abdul Hamid, Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina, and meet Foreign Minister Abul Hassan Mahmood Ali.
He will fill them in about the nuclear agreement with the five veto power holders of the UN Security Council – China, France, Russia, UK, and the US – plus Germany.
He will also discuss mutual cooperation in different sectors, the foreign ministry said.
Foreign Minister Zarif is expected to meet the press Wednesday before leaving Dhaka in the evening, according bdnews24.com.
