South Korean and Iranian Foreign Ministers to Pursue Joint Meeting in New York City
In a significant development, South Korea's Foreign Minister, Cho Hyun, and Iran's Foreign Minister, Abbas Araghchi, are set to meet during the UN General Assembly high-level week in New York next week. The announcement was made following a series of phone talks between the two ministers on Friday, marking the first time they have spoken.
The planned bilateral meeting in New York is expected to focus on strengthening ties between South Korea and Iran. The discussion is also likely to cover the upcoming vote by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on a resolution aimed at reimposing economic sanctions on Iran, which is related to Iran's nuclear program.
During the phone talks, Cho expressed hope that all parties involved will continue efforts towards a diplomatic solution to the issue. He also reaffirmed South Korea's commitment to adhering to the UNSC's resolutions in their current procedures.
Iran's Foreign Minister, Araghchi, was the Iranian counterpart in the phone talks. He did not disclose any specific details about Iran's stance on the upcoming UNSC vote or the bilateral meeting in New York.
The meeting in New York will be led by Germany's Foreign Minister, Johann Wadephul, who has been actively engaged in dialogue with Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi. The exact details of the meeting, including the date and time, have not been disclosed yet.
This development comes at a critical time as the international community closely watches the progress of the Iran nuclear talks and the potential implications of the UNSC's decision on economic sanctions. Both South Korea and Iran will be crucial players in shaping the global response to these developments.
