"The reports were not confirmed by any South Korean
officials," Hosseini said at his weekly press briefing for domestic and foreign
reporters.
He added, "Seoul is continuing its previous stand
vis-a-vis Iran considering the country as one of the world's safest places for
tourism."
Hosseini's comments were made in reference to some
recent media reports that South Korea had banned its nationals from travelling
to Iran, Afghanistan and Somalia calling them "unsafe" places after a group of
its citizens had recently faced problems in Afghanistan.
"The reports were released by one of the South Korean
media but were not confirmed by any officials of the country," Hosseini said.
Commenting on Iran-Egypt relations, the spokesman
said, "Nothing new has happened in this connection and our stands are the same
that we announced before."
