Berlin, Aug 19, IRNA -- Iran is ready to step up its cooperation with Germany aimed at resolving crisis hotspots in the Middle East, Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir Abdollahian said.
in Berlin on Wednesday.

Meeting with his German counterpart Markus Ederer at the German foreign ministry, Amir Abdollahian who was joined at the talks by the head of the Iraq department at the Iranian foreign ministry and Iran's Ambassador to
Germany Ali Majedi, pointed to Berlin's positive approach in settling regional crises.

He stressed both countries had common viewpoints when it came to a realistic political solution of the crises in Middle East.

Abdollahian reiterated that could be the basis for boosting bilalteral consultations which again could result in an effective and constructive cooperation.

Referring to the mounting threat of Takfiri and extremist terrorism on the global scene, Abdollahian outlined Tehran's views on the regional crises, among them Syria, Iraq and Yemen.

The Iranian diplomat expressed concern over attempts by certain regional players who are instrumentalizing terror groups for their own political objectives.

Meanwhile, the German deputy foreign minister who was accompanied in his talks with Abdollahian by the political director of the foreign ministry Sabine Sparwasser and the regional director for the Middle East and Maghreb at the foreign ministry, Miguel Berger, expressed concern over the ongoing crises in Syria and Yemen and the
growing terrorist activists in those countries.

Ederer said the Iranian nuclear agreement actually paved the way for cooperation between Germany and Iran in
stabilizing and pacifying the Mideast.

He underscored the importance of continuing and intensifying bilateral cooperation geared at resolving the regional crisis hotspots.

Earlier in the day, Abdollahian held also talks with top German chancellery officials focusing on the latest developments in the Middle East.

Abdollahian is scheduled to depart Germany on Thursday for political meetings in Switzerland.
