IRNA – Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesman announced that Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif is likely to visit New York in early January 2020 to attend the United Nations Security Council's special summit on the condition that the US would issue visa for the visit.

Abbas Mousavi told IRNA late on Saturday that special meeting on 'Charter' goals will be held in New York on the 75th founding anniversary of the United Nations in New York in January 2020.

The meeting is an opportunity to discuss unilateralism and its repercussions on the international order, Mousavi said.

The US government imposed sanctions on Iran's Foreign Minister on July 31.
