Relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and South Korea, although the two have been economic partners for many years, were under the influence of pressure from the United States of America, to the point that, while reducing economic relations, South Korea refused to pay Iran's assets to banks. The country refused.
Finally, after the agreement between Iran and the United States, negotiated by several third countries, in addition to the exchange of prisoners between the two countries, South Korea was obliged to take measures to release Iranian assets.
  It seems that as a result of this agreement, relations between the two countries will improve and develop compared to the past.
Thus, as part of the agreement between Tehran and Washington, $6 billion of Iran's blocked assets in South Korea were released.
Hossein Amirabdollahian, Minister of Foreign Affairs of our country, during the meeting with Park Jin, Minister of Foreign Affairs of South Korea, said: I hope that with the new atmosphere created after the lifting of the embargo on Iranian assets, we will be able to catch up. past delays in bilateral relations.
He added: We have a lot of capabilities in the relations between the two countries, which we must use, and in this regard, it is necessary to redefine the relations between the two countries.
