UAE foreign minister arrives on rare Iran visit


TEHRAN: Iran's official news agency is reporting the foreign minister of theUnited Arab Emirateshas arrived inTehranon a rare visit.
The Thursday report saysAbdullah bin Zayedwill meet PresidentHassan Rouhanias well as his Iranian counterpart MohmmadJavad Zarifduring his one-day visit, the first such trip by the UAE's foreign minister in years and since Rouhani took office in August 2013.

With billions ofU.S.dollars in annual trade, the two countries are at odds over various issues, including Iran's control over three Islands at the mouth of thePersian Gulfas well as Tehran's support of Syrian President Bashar Assad.

However, the UAE was one of the first countries in the region to welcome last weekend's nuclear deal betweenIranand world powers.
