New Delhi, April 29 -- Iranian foreign minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi dialled external affairs minister S Jaishankar on Wednesday to discuss the West Asia conflict and efforts to end the war.

The two foreign ministers have spoken on phone more than half a dozen times since military strikes on Iran by Israel and the US on February 28 triggered the conflict. The latest call came following Araghchi's visits to Pakistan, Oman and Russia as part of efforts to end the war.

"Received a phone call from Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi of Iran this evening," Jaishankar said on social media. "Had a detailed conversation about various aspects of the current situation. We agreed to remain in close touch."
