In the meeting, the two foreign ministers also discussed bilateral and regional issues, particularly Iran-Oman cooperation in the Strait of Hormuz.
Zarif and Bin Alawi also reaffirmed the commitment of their respective governments to continue collaborations and consultations aimed at ensuring maritime safety and energy security for all and called on all parties to play a positive role to this end.
