Tehran, Nov 1, IRNA – Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif underlined that Saudi Arabia should determine the fate of other people missing in the Mina tragic incident, and said that Iran is waiting for return of the missing Tehran's former ambassador to Beirut Qazanfar Roknabadi.

'The foreign ministry and family of Mr. Roknabadi are waiting for his return and we hope the sooner his fate will be determined for us,' Zarif said on Sunday, addressing a conference of ambassadors and heads of missions of the Islamic Republic of Iran abroad in Tehran.

The Iranian foreign minister condoled with the families of the victims of Hajj tragic incident, and said, 'Our colleagues who died in Hajj pilgrimage incident were among the most duty-bound and industrious people in the Iranian foreign ministry whose valuable objectives will continue.'

Zarif said that the most important objective of Iran is that the Iranian Hajj pilgrims who go on Hajj pilgrimage every year should embark on the spiritual journey in tranquility.

The conference of ambassadors and heads of Iran's diplomatic missions abroad started with the Iranian diplomats martyred in the Mina tragic incident.
