(MENAFN- Kuwait News Agency (KUNA)) Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif held talks Sunday with Staffan de Mistura, UN Secretary General's Special Envoy for Syria, on the situation in the troubled Arab country and the region in general.
The two men discussed the threat posed by the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL), spread of violence and terrorism in the region, official IRNA news agency reported.
They said the key players, regionally and internationally, should work hard to reach a political solution in Syria.
Zarif hoped de Mistura would succeed in his new mission in a "positive and independent manner," said IRNA.
De Mistura arrived in Tehran earlier today for talks with the Iranian officials on means of addressing the Syrian conflict, which killed some 250,000 people and displaced millions of people.
