Iran's President Hassan Rouhani plans to leave for New York on Monday with a very busy schedule full of meetings with different world leaders and attendance in several high-profile global conferences, with the most important one being the 69th UN General Assembly meeting.
The Iranian president is due to address the UN General Assembly meeting.
In his address, Rouhani will deliver Iranians’ message to the world on the most important international issues.
He will participate in various meetings with high-ranking officials of some states on the sidelines of the assembly.
The Head of Iran’s President Office Mohammad Nahavandian, President's Special Aid Hossein Fereidoun and President’s Cultural Advisor Hesameddin Ashna will accompany Rouhani in the trip.
On Wednesday, Government Spokesman Mohammad Baqer Nobakht announced that there is no plan for a meeting between President Rouhani and his US counterpart Barack Obama on the sidelines of the 69th annual session of the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The 69th Session of the UN General Assembly (UNGA 69) will convene at UN Headquarters on Tuesday, 16 September 2014.
Last year when the Iranian president was en route to the airport to return to Iran, he and Obama spoke over phone in an unprecedented move, at least, in the last 35 years.
