IRNA Iran consul general to Erbil announced that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is scheduled to have a trip to Iraq Kurdistan Region (KRG) on Tuesday.

Zarif who is now leading a high-ranking politico-economic delegation in Iraq is to have a tour to Erbil on Tuesday, Morteza Ebadi said.

He added that Zarif will hold talks with senior Kurdish officials in Erbil.

Iranian Foreign Minister will then leave Erbil for Sulaymaniyah, he noted.

Ebadi went on to say that the conference on ways to develop bilateral economic and commercial relations will also be held with the attendance of Zarif and economic officials and businessmen in Erbil.
