South Korea’s president heads to Iran on Sunday targeting billions of dollars of economic and energy deals in a landmark visit.
President Park Geun-hye will help establish a “foundation of cooperation” with Iran by becoming the first South Korean president to visit Tehran since the nations established diplomatic ties in 1962, a presidential spokesman said ahead of the visit.
She will meet Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Monday and possibly hold talks with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. If the meeting takes place there would likely be “exchanges of opinion about the North Korean nuclear issue,” the spokesman said.
