Earlier on January 3, president Raeisi canceled his trip to Turkey in the wake of the terrorist incident in Kerman, which resulted in the martyrdom of a large number of our compatriots.
Also, a planned visit by Raeisi in late November was postponed due to the conflicting schedules of the two regional powers’ foreign ministers, the official also said.
At the time, Turkey’s foreign minister was in New York as part of a “contact group” of Muslim countries on Gaza.
