TEHRAN, June 25 (Xinhua) -- Iran and Denmark on Sunday discussed their relations and ways to expand them, according to a statement published on the Iranian Foreign Ministry's website.
In a phone conversation, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Danish counterpart Lars Lokke Rasmussen agreed on creating a mechanism for promoting political and consular consultations.
Amir-Abdollahian described the "historical" relations between the two countries as a "valuable" asset for Tehran and Copenhagen, highlighting the necessity to continue negotiations in an effort to boost bilateral ties.
Commenting on the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the Iranian foreign minister said Tehran is opposed to any war and has proposed a political solution for the crisis.
Supplying weapons to any of the warring parties will only heighten the tension and further undermine regional stability, he noted.
