“Our minister only left for New York today, so we’ll see if there will be a ministerial meeting, because until yesterday it was not known whether our delegation would receive visas to go to New York. Because of this, the meeting and other issues were not planned, ”RIA Novosti quoted him as saying.

Garib-Abadi noted that the Foreign Ministers are already in New York: “so let's wait and see what will happen in New York, whether there will be a ministerial meeting or not.”

Earlier, the Iranian Permanent Representative to the UN said that President Hassan Rouhani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif received visas to participate in the UN General Assembly in New York.
