MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 20th January, 2020) Iranian Minister of Road Construction and Urban Development Muhammad Islami will pay an official visit to the Ukrainian capital of Kiev to deliver a letter from President Hassan Rouhani to his Ukranian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, on the Ukrainian Boeing 737's crash, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Abbas Mousavi said Monday, according to the Islamic Republic news Agency.
He also expressed his condolences to the victims' families over the aircraft's crash.
Ukraine International Airlines Flight 752 crashed near Tehran's Imam Khomeini International Airport minutes after takeoff on January 8. All 176 people on board were killed. The crash occurred shortly after Iran launched airstrikes against US bases in neighboring Iraq. Three days later, the Iranian military admitted to accidentally shooting down the plane, having confused it with a hostile missile in anticipation of a retaliatory strike from the US.
