President Raeisi slated to visit Turkey in January to discuss Gaza
Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi is scheduled to visit Turkey on the first week of January to hold talks with his Turkish counterpart on regional and international issues.
Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani broke the news on Tuesday. Turkish media outlets also said that Raeisi’s trip to Ankara is slated for January 4.
In a phone conversation last month, Raeisi and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan praised Tehran-Ankara relations as friendly, historical and based on good neighborliness, religious values and shared interests.
The two presidents also placed a premium on strengthening and improving the level of bilateral cooperation in different political, economic and cultural fields.
Raeisi hailed Iran and Turkey as two important and influential countries in the Muslim world and expressed hope that the joint cooperation between the two sides would serve as a model of interaction for Islamic countries.
Erdogan, for his part, pointed to the good and constructive relations between Tehran and Ankara, underscoring the elevation of bilateral ties to an “exceptional” level.
The two presidents also denounced Israel's brutal aggression on the Gaza Strip and the United States' complicity in the occupying regime's genocidal war against Palestinians in the besieged territory.
