Iran’s ambassador to Kiev announced on his Twitter account that the third round of “technical and legal” talks about the plane crash would be co-chaired by Baharvand and Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Yevgheniy Yenin.
The two countries had held the second round of negotiations about the case in Tehran in October 2020.
The Kiev-bound UIA Boeing 737 crashed shortly after taking off from Tehran on January 8, 2020, killing all 176 people on board, mostly Iranian and Canadian citizens.
Iran said the plane was hit by an anti-aircraft missile due to human error.
