Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Friday held talks with his Omani counterpart Yusuf bin Alawi in the German city of Munich.
It was the fifth meeting between the two diplomats in the past few weeks.
Bin Alawi has traveled three times to Iran where he is mediating between Tehran and Washington.
The Omani news agency said that Bin Alawi met with Zarif on the sidelines of the 56th session of the Munich Security Conference.
“The two officials discussed bilateral relations,” the agency said.
In Munich, conferees include heads of state and government who convene to discuss the current crises and future security challenges.
Also in Munich, Bin Alawi met with his Iraqi counterpart Mohammad Ali al-Hakim.
The two ministers stressed the importance of holding joint committee meetings between the two countries in its ninth session in the first quarter of this year.
Bin Alawi was in Tehran on Jan. 26. He had also traveled to the country on Jan. 21 and earlier on Jan. 7 to attend the Tehran dialogue forum’s 23rd Gulf international conference.
The two officials also met last month in Muscat during the Iranian Foreign Minister’s short trip to the country, which was aimed at meeting with Canadian FM Francois-Philippe Champagne.
In the past 40 years, Oman seeks to play a mediatory role in calming tensions between Tehran and Washington.
