Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif meets with his Canadian counterpart Francois-Philippe Champagne in the Omani capital Muscat.
“Politicization of this tragedy must be rejected. Focus on victims’ families,” Zarif tweeted after meeting with Francois-Philippe Champagne, his counterpart from Canada, many of whose dual citizens perished in the incident. The meeting took place at Ottawa’s request during a stopover in the Omani capital Muscat by Zarif, who was returning from a security conference in New Delhi.
