Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif will visit Kabul on Sunday at the invitation of his Afghan counterpart Salahuddin Rabbani.

Spokesman for the Foreign Ministry, Bahram Qasemi, announced here on Saturday that Zarif is scheduled to meet Afghanistan's President Ashraf Ghani and Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah, reported IRNA.

Different aspects of Tehran-Kabul relations and ways to promote the current level of bilateral ties as well as the latest international and regional developments are among the issues to be discussed during Zarif's visit to Kabul, Qasemi said.

Zarif also visited Pakistan on May 3, during which he met top officials over a terrorist attack near the Pakistan-Iran border last month, in which 10 Iranian border guards were killed.
