According to reports, the meetings included government officials responsible for Middle Eastern policy.
Johnson has previously been vocal about Blair's policy in the Middle East, and criticized the former prime minister's decision to invade Iraq in 2003.
On Friday, following Blair's calls to keep the United Kingdom in the European Union, Johnson urged the public to ignore him, stating that he "dragooned" the United Kingdom into the Iraq War on "a completely false prospectus."
