Iran’s new Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi held talks in Tehran on Monday with his Qatari counterpart Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani on efforts to reach a ceasefire in Gaza.

The officials also discussed bilateral relations between Tehran and Doha and means to bolster them in various fields, reported Qatar’s state news agency QNA.
