Araqchi continued: “Iran’s nuclear dossier was also examined in detail during this meeting, and I briefed the Emir of Qatar on the latest developments. Our Qatari colleagues have always maintained constructive views, and we have continuously exchanged opinions on these issues. Valuable consultations were conducted during this meeting as well.”
