Iranian Supreme National Security Council Secretary Ali Shamkhani will visit the United Arab Emirates soon, Tehran's Etemad newspaper reported Wednesday.

Shamkhani's visit comes amid thawing ties between Iran and several Gulf countries.

The UAE had in September sent an ambassador to Iran after the two countries spent the better half of a decade with downgraded ties.

"Shamkhani will meet with his Emirati counterpart to discuss the status of negotiations to revive the 2015 nuclear deal and other security-political issues," Etemad reported on its Telegram channel.

UAE-Iranian ties soured after Saudi Arabia severed ties with Tehran in January 2016 following the execution of prominent human rights activist and outspoken Riyadh critic Sheikh Nimr Baqir Al-Nimr.
