TEHRAN, Jan. 12 (MNA)-- Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast announced Iran’s readiness to mediate between South and North Koreas to help resolve the dispute over sea boundaries.

He also commented on the meeting of South Korean Ambassador to Tehran Park Jae-hyun with Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani in Tehran on Monday.
In the meeting the ambassador said, “Iran can play a constructive role between the two Koreas for continued talks and resolution of problems.”
Mehmanparast said, “No Asian country approves of tensions raised in Asia and all are seeking peace and stability” and Iran will utilize its potential in this regard.
