Speaking after meetings with Qatari officials in Doha on Tuesday, Momeni said negotiations have already been held over the Iranian pilots and that it has been agreed that a technical delegation would return to Qatar to continue the discussions.
“Negotiations were held regarding the Iranian pilots, and it was decided that the technical delegation would visit again and hold meetings to continue the work,” he said.
Momeni said his talks with Qatari officials also covered bilateral issues between the two interior ministries, including organized crime, coast guard cooperation, security matters, and combating drug trafficking.
He added that an expert-level security meeting would be held immediately after the Iranian delegation’s visit and that such meetings would continue.
The Iranian interior minister also described discussions on expanding trade relations between the two countries as constructive.
Momeni underscored the importance Iran attaches to Qatar and neighboring countries, saying regionalism and good-neighborly relations were Iran’s “definitive policy.”
Regional security, he maintained, is interconnected and should be ensured through cooperation among regional countries.
