WASHINGTON DC, 1st May. Iranian Foreign Ministry on Tuesday rejected speculation about nuclear cooperation with Pyongyang after the arrival of a North Korean business delegation in Tehran.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanaani said that the North Korea delegation was headed by Minister for External Economic Relations Yun Jong Ho, travelled to Tehran last week for an economic conference.
He added any link to cooperation on nuclear matters was “unfounded,”.
There was speculation in South Korea that military cooperation between North Korea and Iran could be discussed during the visit.
Two countries both of which have faced strict international sanctions and isolation on the diplomatic stage for their nuclear activities have been accused of active cooperation in the field of missile technology.
Iran’s controversial nuclear programme has been the subject of renewed interest in recent months after the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
Kanaani denied again that Tehran is striving to build nuclear weapons.
