Japan urges Iran to show ‘maximum flexibility’ to ease tensions
Japan’s Foreign Minister Toshimitsu Motegi urged Iran to exercise “maximum flexibility” to help quickly reduce tensions during a phone call with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, state media reported on Tuesday.
Motegi stressed the importance of continuing talks between the United States and Iran and resolving outstanding issues in line with the existing memorandum of understanding.
“Japan will work to support such negotiations,” he said, according to Iranian media.
He also renewed Japan’s call for an early resolution of the case of a Japanese national who was released on bail in Iran in April.
