Iran, Algeria foreign ministers hold bilateral talks in New York

Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi met with his Algerian counterpart, Ahmed Attaf, in New York as part of a series of bilateral diplomatic consultations, according to Iran's state news agency IRNA.

The meeting took place amid a broader round of diplomatic engagements involving Iranian officials in New York, where foreign ministers and other senior officials from around the world have been gathering for talks on the sidelines of related international proceedings.

Details of the specific topics discussed between Araghchi and Attaf were not disclosed in the initial report. Bilateral consultations of this kind typically cover a range of shared political, economic and regional issues between the two countries.

Part of a wider diplomatic push

Iran has used its presence in New York to hold a series of similar bilateral meetings with counterparts from other countries, a pattern consistent with its broader diplomatic engagement during high-level international gatherings. Algeria and Iran have maintained diplomatic relations and periodic high-level contacts in recent years.

Neither ministry immediately issued a detailed public readout of the discussion beyond confirming that the consultations took place. Further details, including any agreements or joint statements arising from the meeting, may be released in the coming days.
