TEHRAN, 13 April, 2021 (TON): On Monday, during a meeting with visiting South Korean Prime Minister Chung Sye-Kyun, the Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf called on South Korea to unfreeze Iran’s assets.
Qalibaf said, "Unfortunately, South Korea has lost its position in Iran's foreign trade and the two countries' economic and political relations, which once stood at the highest level, have declined."
"We expect South Korea's prime minister to come up with immediate and practical solutions to settle the problem of Iran's foreign exchange resources and (help) release the Islamic Republic's frozen money," he added.
One day earlier, Iran's First Vice-President Eshaq Jahangiri said in a joint press conference with Chung that "South Korea has followed the United States in implementing illegal sanctions against Iran over the past three years, which has depressed the bilateral relations,” he further added.
However, Chung's visit to Iran follows the recent release of a South Korean oil tanker.
