Tasnim news agency said Zarif also met his Qatari counterpart during the trip to Doha, his second this year.

An Iranian diplomat in Doha, who declined to be named, said Zarif discussed on Wednesday with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim Bin Hamad Al-Thani how to "better ties" between the two countries. Qatar has yet to reinstate its ambassador to Iran.

Despite the tensions, long-standing trade links and shared access to oil and gas fields have stopped many Gulf states from shutting the door on Iran.
