Iran Press/Europe: Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi said that the visit happens after the French Foreign minister, Jean-Yves Le Drian has invited Mohammad Javad Zarif to come where G7 summit is taking place.
After his arrival, Zarif has met and talked with French Foreign minister in Biarritz city, Iran Press reported.
