Seoul, Jan 6 : A South Korean delegation is set to depart for Iran soon to negotiate the early release of a seized tanker and its crew, officials said on Wednesday.
The delegation, led by Koh Kyung-sok, director-general of the South Korean Foreign Ministry s Africa and Middle Eastern affairs, will board a plane around Thursday midnight bound for Tehran via Qatar, Seoul s Foreign Ministry said, Yonhap news agency reported.
Iranian officials were initially negative toward the visit, saying they saw no need for it, but they accepted it later after consultations with Seoul.
