​I have regular contact with my Iranian counterpart, both in the UK and overseas. As Minister responsible for the UK's relations with Iran, I last visited Tehran on 29 April this year. During that visit I had a constructive meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and met him again in Vienna 6 July. I hope to be able to visit again in the coming months. The Foreign Secretary hopes that the opportunity to travel to Iran will arise in the future but he does not currently have any firm plans to visit.
