Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani met in Doha on Thursday with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi.
During the meeting, Araghchi conveyed a message from President Masoud Pezeshkian to the Qatari leader on bilateral relations and regional developments, according to the Emiri Diwan said in a statement.
According to the statement, discussions also dwelt on ways of strengthening cooperation between Qatar and Iran and the latest regional developments.
The meeting follows two rounds of negotiations between Iran and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to reach a framework of cooperation ended without any breakthrough.
It also comes after the UK, France and Germany last week formally notified the UN Security Council that they were invoking the "snapback" mechanism under Resolution 2231 to reimpose sanctions on Iran, accusing Tehran of "significant non-performance" of its nuclear obligations.
The move triggered a 30-day period during which previously lifted UN sanctions could be reimposed on Tehran unless the council decides otherwise.
