Iran says that the foreign minister's trip to New York for the Security Council meeting has been "canceled."

Ismail Baqaei, spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry, cited "visa issues" as the reason for the cancellation of Abbas Araghchi's trip.

Mr. Baqaei had said last Wednesday regarding Mr. Araghchi's attendance at this meeting: "This trip to New York may take place, but it is also possible that it may not happen, as it is still not certain. The reason is that a visa must be issued, and we may have other priorities."

China, as the rotating president of the Security Council, will hold a high-level open debate on Tuesday, May 26, on the topic of "Maintaining the Goals and Principles of the UN Charter and Strengthening the UN-Centered International System."

This session will be chaired by Wang Yi, a member of the Political Bureau of the Central Committee of the Communist Party and the Foreign Minister of China.

China described this meeting as an "opportunity" for solidarity and consensus among member states to "reaffirm their firm commitment to maintaining the goals and principles of the United Nations Charter and to revive the central role of this organization in the international system."
