Pezeshkian Holds First New York Bilateral Meeting With Swiss President
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian met with Swiss President Guy Parmelin in his first round of bilateral talks during his visit to New York.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian held talks with Swiss President Guy Parmelin in New York, marking his first bilateral meeting during his current visit to the city, according to Iran's IRNA news agency.
The meeting took place as Pezeshkian attends events surrounding the United Nations General Assembly session in New York, where numerous world leaders are holding a series of bilateral meetings alongside the formal assembly proceedings.
First of Several Meetings Expected
The talks with the Swiss president represent the opening engagement in what is expected to be a broader schedule of bilateral meetings for Pezeshkian during his time in New York.
Switzerland has historically played a role in facilitating diplomatic channels between Iran and other countries, including the United States, given the absence of direct diplomatic relations between Tehran and Washington.
Details of the specific topics discussed between Pezeshkian and Parmelin during the meeting have not been fully disclosed, and further readouts of the discussion may follow from either government.
