today commended the efforts of the new Government in Iran in promoting

raised this issue during his visit to Iran last year and had urged the
Government to release these prisoners.

reported on his meeting today with Foreign Minister Jawad Zarif.

"I told the Minister that I am pleased that the Government of the
Islamic Republic of Iran is now taking some concrete steps to fulfil
the promises made by President [Hassan] Rouhani during his recent
election campaign.

The Secretary-General is scheduled to Mr. Rouhani next week "to
discuss matters of mutual concern" on the sidelines of the annual
high-level debate held by the General Assembly.

Mr. Ban and Mr. Zarif also discussed Iran's growing cooperation with
the international community on a host of issues, including the nuclear
file, as well the role Iran could play in promoting a political
solution to the conflict in Syria.Sep 20 2013 7:00PM
