Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has arrived in Egypt on a one-day visit and is scheduled to visit Lebanon on Tuesday on the second leg of his tour of the two Arab countries with which the Islamic Republic is re-adjusting its relations.
Foreign Minister Araghchi is expected to discuss bilateral ties, regional issues, as well as international developments in meetings with the high-ranking officials in Cairo and Beirut, Iran’s Foreign Ministry said in statement.
In addition to meeting with his Egyptian counterpart BadrAbdelatty, Iran’s top diplomat will meet with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, it added.
Foreign Ministry Spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei told a weekly press conference last week that Iran seeks to engage in “serious and constructive” discussions with Cairo and Beirut on how “to confront the escalating crisis in Gaza, the broader implications of Israeli aggression, and the pursuit of regional stability through diplomacy”.
Despite numerous attempts at a rapprochement, the diplomatic relations between Tehran and Cairo have not been fully restored since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran.
Egypt and Iran severed diplomatic relations in the same year though they were partially resumed 11 years later. However, the restoration of communications did not equate to a full return to diplomatic ties and interactions remained limited to business representatives and Interest Section missions in Cairo and Tehran.
The Iranian president Masoud Pezeshkian visited Cairo in December 2024 to participate in the summit meeting of the D-8 Organization for Economic Cooperation, also known as the Developing 8.
Araghchi’s visit to Lebanon is also significant as Tehran and Beirut are reviewing their ties in the wake of the September 2024 killing of Seyed Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of Hezbollah Movement in southern Beirut.
