Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki says the Islamic Republic and Libya have common views on regional issues.
Upon arrival in Tripoli on Thursday, Mottaki said that Libya plays a significant role both in Africa and in the Arab world.
Mottaki is in Libya to discuss a range of issues with Libyan officials, including regional developments, the unity of Muslim nations and bilateral economic cooperation.
"Iran and Libya's position in the Middle East and North Africa, [as well as the] unity and cooperation of Islamic countries will be discussed during the visit," said Mottaki.
He added that the two oil-rich counties could work together on oil and gas projects.
Mottaki, at the head of a high-ranking political and economic delegation, is scheduled to meet with Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi and his counterpart Musa Kusa during his two-day visit to the African country.
The top Iranian diplomat is to leave Tripoli for Islamabad on Friday to attend a joint meeting with his Pakistani and Afghan counterparts.
