"Due to poor weather condition and technical problems, the journey of President Karzai to Iran has been postponed," Afghan Foreign Ministry spokesman Navid Ahmad Mois announced:
No new date was given for when Karzai might visit Tehran.
Iran's official Islamic Republic News Agency reported that Tajikistan's President Imomali Rakhmonov was expected to arrive in Tehran today for talks with Iranian leaders on expanding the economic and cultural ties between the two countries.
