In a telephone conversation on Wednesday evening, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian and his Swedish counterpart Tobias Billstrom talked about the course of relations between Tehran and Stockholm.

Referring to the history of cooperation between Iran and Sweden, they stressed the need to strengthen diplomatic consultations and hold negotiations about issues of mutual interest.

The two senior diplomats also discussed a series of consular affairs.

In July 2023, Tehran suspended the exchange of ambassadors with Sweden on the Iranian president’s order following the desecration of the Holy Quran in Stockholm.

The political relations between the two countries have also soured after Sweden imposed a life sentence on former Iranian official Hamid Nouri. / Tasnim
