Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu has arrived in Tehran for high level talks with Iranian officials on a range of bilateral, regional and global issues.
Davutoglu arrived in Tehran late Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast told Fars news agency.
Relations with Tehran are important for Ankara, because Iran is a major exporter of natural gas. Iran also plays an important role in the region.
The Turkish official is expected to take part in a joint press conference with his Iranian counterpart Manouchehr Mottaki on Saturday morning.
With regards to Tehran's nuclear program, Ankara has so far opposed US attempts to impose international sanctions on Iran at the UN Security Council, where Turkey currently holds a non-permanent seat.
Last week, in a news conference, Davutoglu said Ankara does not want to see sanctions imposed on Iran.
“It will affect us. It will affect the region," Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu told reporters.
"We still think there is a possibility of a diplomatic solution," he added, signifying that the US will probably fail to win Turkey's vote at the Security Council for more embargoes against Iran.
