Iran rejects speculations on Japan PM’s visit to Tehran
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman has dismissed as "untrue" and "invalid" the media speculations on an upcoming trip to Iran by Japanese Prime Minister, Shinzo Abe.
"Iran and Japan have friendly historical ties and there have always been talks and consultations between the officials of both countries, a clear example of which are the meetings between the heads of state of both countries in international conferences and the recent visit to Japan by Iran’s Foreign Minister," Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said in a statement.
"Accordingly, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani has already invited Mr. Shinzo Abe to visit Tehran, and, in response, he said that the visit will take place in due time. So, the reports and speculations published are untrue and invalid," he said.
