Baqeri wrote on Twitter on Wednesday that he had told South Korea’s First Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs Cho Hyun-dong in a phone call that “the Iranian gov’t and people expect the new admininstration to immediately unfreeze our assets to provide a basis for improving bilateral ties”.
The senior diplomat noted that the South Korean side had stated that Seoul is exploring a new way to resolve the problem.
Tehran has repeatedly demanded the release of its frozen assets in several countries, including in South Korea, but Seoul has looked at Washington for a permit to repay its debt.
