Iran Press/ Iran News: Chung Sye-Kyun departed for Iran on Sunday for bilateral talks amid lingering tension over Tehran's call to unlock its funds frozen here under US sanctions.
According to Yonhap, during his three-day visit that ends Tuesday, Chung is expected to discuss ways to enhance the Seoul-Tehran relations and other matters.
The visit marks the first such trip by a South Korean prime minister in 44 years.
The visit came two days after Iran released a Korean oil tanker and its captain, who was detained over oil pollution.
