Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan on Tuesday attended the inauguration ceremony of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian in Tehran, the Turkish Foreign Ministry said.
Pezeshkian, a 69-year-old veteran reformist lawmaker and cardiac surgeon, defeated his conservative rival Saeed Jalili in a presidential runoff election on July 5. He was sworn in on Tuesday.
Early presidential election was held in Iran following the May 19 death of President Ebrahim Raisi in a helicopter crash.
In Tehran, Fidan also met his Turkmen counterpart Rashid Meredov, and Iraq's Kurdish Regional Government President Nechirvan Barzani.
