According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Minister Park welcomed the progress in negotiations for a ceasefire memorandum between the U.S. and Iran, expressing hope for thorough implementation of the agreement and further negotiations.
He also emphasized the importance of safe and free navigation for vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Minister Araghchi provided updates on the current status of negotiations with the U.S. and Iran's position.
The two ministers discussed matters related to South Korea-Iran relations and agreed to maintain communication regarding the safety of vessels and crew, as well as the protection of South Korean nationals abroad.
There is also speculation that the ministers exchanged views on Iran's reconstruction efforts. Earlier, Minister Park mentioned in a press briefing on June 22 that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had established a comprehensive economic cooperation team for South Korea and the Middle East to facilitate the participation of South Korean companies in post-war recovery efforts and to actively identify tailored cooperation needs with Middle Eastern countries through diplomatic missions.
This phone call marks the fifth conversation between the two ministers since the outbreak of war between the U.S. and Iran in late February.
