President of Iran Masoud Pezeshkian will visit Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan in the coming days. This was announced by Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei, according to the Iranian MNA news agency.

The announcement of the upcoming trip comes amid Tehran's active diplomatic engagement in the region. Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Baghaei mentioned the visit to Ashgabat and Astana, along with comments on ongoing consultations with Azerbaijan, as well as upcoming meetings with high-ranking officials from Russia and Belarus.

This activity demonstrates the priority Iran places on strengthening relations with its neighbors in the Caspian region and Central Asia.
