Japan's Abe Shinzo said 'there is something only Japan can do here, given its alliance relationship with the United States and the long-standing amicable ties with Iran,' Pakistan's Imran Khan said it's 'a complex issue, but we'll try our best.'
The United States and Iran failed to come together for any talks last week on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly, but two countries have been quietly working mediate between the longtime foes., or even a phone call, between his U.S.
The U.S. and Iranian flags await the arrival of former Secretary of State John Kerry and Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif before their meeting April 19, 2016 at the United Nations in New York. The two countries have once again fallen out since President Donald Trump's decision to leave his predecessor's nuclear deal a potential meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani never transpired at the sidelines of this year's U.N. General Assembly.
Japanese Foreign Ministry Press Secretary Masato Otaka told reporters last week that Abe condemned the attack during his meeting with Trump, but had also described it as"subject to further information-gathering and analysis." He added:"We're still looking into it we, we haven't made any judgment on that particular attack as of yet."
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo lead their respective delegations during bilateral talks in Tehran, June 12. The talks were hailed as a historic opportunity, but were overshadowed by new attacks against oil tankers in the Gulf of Oman, near the United Arab Emirates.
When it came to the recent attack, the top diplomat touted his country's"very good relationship with Saudi Arabia, calling the kingdom's officials"trusted and reliable friends for years, we have a strategic relationship with them so busy when we heard about this attack, we were concerned, we were worried, we condemned it immediately." Qureshi said he traveled alongside Khan to"to express solidarity with the leadership over there, and to hear them out.
In his final appearance in New York, Rouhani described his"good and fruitful, friendly relations" with the Abe administration. He said the Japanese leader was"seeking this particular path from a few months ago, aimed at taking away sanctions implemented by the Americans and, in a way, to bring both sides together and change conditions and atmosphere, Abe is still seeking to move on that pathway which perhaps emanates from some degree from their own unjust occupations.
