During the visit, Mr. Zarif is expected to accompany Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to the 73rd session of the UN General Assembly at the UN headquarters in New York if the president attends the meeting.
Mr. Zarif will likely participate in the meeting of foreign ministers of the member states of Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO).
One of the most important schedules of Zarif during the visit is to attend a meeting between foreign ministers of Iran and the P4+1 group over the 2015 nuclear deal known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and preserving the international deal.
