Iran's foreign ministry summoned South Korea's ambassador to protest against South Koran President Yoon Suk-yeol's comment that the Islamic republic is the enemy of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Iranian state media reported.
Yoon, speaking with South Korean troops stationed in Abu Dhabi early this week, said South Korea and the UAE are under "very similar" circumstances, each facing North Korea and Iran as "the enemy, biggest threat."
Iran's deputy foreign minister on legal affairs, Reza Najafi, summoned Yun Kang-hyeon, the South Korean ambassador on Wednesday to protest against Yoon's "interventionist remarks," the official IRNA news agency said. Yoon's office said his comment was meant to encourage the soldiers. Seoul's foreign ministry said on Tuesday it has offered explanations to Tehran and its commitment to developing bilateral ties remains unchanged.
Najafi also accused South Korea of pursuing an "unfriendly approach" toward Iran, singling out its frozen funds.
