Iranian Foreign Minister To Travel To New York On Friday To Attend UN General Assembly

TEHRAN (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th September, 2019) Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif will leave for New York for the 74th session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA) on September 20, the Iranian Foreign Ministry said Thursday amid reports about a possible trip cancellation due to entry visa problems.

"The Foreign Minister is leaving for New York on Friday morning to attend the 74th session of the UNGA," ministry's spokesman Abbas Mousavi wrote in his Twitter blog, without specifying whether the visa issue had been resolved.

The Iranian media, earlier reported, without providing a source of information, that Iran's President Hassan Rouhani and his delegation, including the foreign minister, may not attend the UNGA, as they still do not have US entry visas.
