Speaking to reporters on Sunday afternoon after addressing the Africa Day ceremony in Tehran, the top Iranian negotiator Araghchi said that "In recent negotiations, the Omani side proposed solutions to remove obstacles, which are currently under examination."
As regards Iran's relations with African countries, the Iranian minister said, "Africa is one of our foreign policy priorities, alongside our neighbors and countries that have been our friends since ancient times. Our next priorities after Africa are Latin America and East Asia, and we have made great efforts to expand relations with African countries."
Foreign Minister Araqchi has led five rounds of negotiations—three in Muscat and two in Rome—with US special envoy Steve Witkoff, mediated by Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Al-Busaidi.
After talks concluded in Rome on Friday, Araqchi said it was “one of the most professional” rounds of negotiations between the two sides since the diplomatic process began in April.
The top diplomat said the American side had “now a better, clearer and more precise understanding of our positions.”
