Tehran and Cairo have agreed to resume contacts on various levels, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Mohammad-Ali Hosseini, said on Wednesday.
Hosseini was commenting on a recent visit to Egypt of Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister on legal and international affairs, Abbas Araqchi. According to IRNA, Araqchi's visit took place at the invitation of his Egyptian counterpart.
Hosseini said that the two sides discussed major international, regional and bilateral developments during the visit.
Iran and Egypt have currently only interest sections in either country after Iran cut ties with Egypt in 1980 following the Islamic revolution in protest at Cairo's peace accords with Israel.
