Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi would visit Somalia soon in a bid to step up transfer of aid to the drought-hit people in the African country, ISNA reported.
His trip whose exact time has still remained unclear is scheduled for coming days. Salehi is now on an official visit to Russia.
Salehi's visit to Somalia mainly aims to examine needed goods of Somali people and ways to send aid for them as soon as possible.
Considerable part of the Islamic Republic of Iran's aid would be delivered to Somali officials at the time of Salehi's trip. Iran has approved 25 million dollar aid to Somalia.
Over 100,000 people have fled into Somalia's famine-hit and war-torn capital in the past two months in search of food, water and medicine.
But with makeshift camps already overcrowded, hundreds have sought refuge in the crumbling shell of the cathedral, built by Italian colonial authorities in the 1920s but destroyed in years of bloody civil war.
Conflict-wracked Somalia is the country hardest hit by the extreme drought affecting 12 million people across the Horn of Africa.
The United Nations has officially declared famine in Somalia for the first time this century, including in Mogadishu and four southern regions.
