Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi held separate phone calls on Friday with his counterparts of Uzbekistan, South Korea, Romania, Britain, and Pakistan to discuss the implementation of a recently signed peace memorandum of understanding (MoU) between Iran and the United States.
Araghchi briefed his counterparts on the latest developments regarding the MoU's implementation, including the process of negotiations between Tehran and Washington toward a final agreement, and the consultations held within that framework, according to statements from the Iranian Foreign Ministry.
Uzbek Foreign Minister Bakhtiyor Saidov and Romanian Foreign Minister Oana-Silvia Toiu welcomed ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate tensions in West Asia, stressing the need for the continuation of the process and the involved parties' fulfillment of their mutual commitments, the statements said.
South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun voiced his country's support for diplomatic efforts aimed at ensuring peace and stability, and shipping security in the region, according to the ministry.
