US President Donald Trump said on the 27th that he expects negotiations to end the hostilities with Iran to resume this week. Axios reported that Qatar is conducting mediation diplomacy between U.S. Middle East envoy Witkoff and Iranian Foreign Minister Araghchi. Mr. Trump rejected Iran's proposal to open the Strait of Hormuz within seven days, saying it was ``not the deal I wanted,'' and Mr. Araghchi said on NBC that he was ready to negotiate, but warned that he would fight back against any attack from the United States with a ``doomsday war.''

The Japanese government has decided to provide a 150 billion yen loan for the expansion of Genghis Khan International Airport in Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia. A formal agreement is expected to be reached on the occasion of a summit meeting between Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi and Mongolian Prime Minister Otilal on the 29th, and the two governments will sign an exchange of notes. The Mongolian side has received parliamentary approval, and the Japanese government is also proceeding with procedures toward a Cabinet decision on the 29th. The airport has been developed by Japan with a total of 65,657 million yen in ODA loans and opened in 2021, but the number of passengers has exceeded demand forecasts and the apron and terminal have become cramped. The idea is to strengthen the ``connectivity of the sky'' through expansion and support Mongolia's independence and resilience.

On the 26th, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and German Foreign Minister Werdefur met in New York, where the United Nations General Assembly is being held, and discussed German-Russian relations and the situation in Ukraine.

Mr. Lavrov said he had discussed ensuring the safety of cargo ships sailing in the Black Sea, and blamed the damage so far on terrorist attacks in Ukraine. Wardefur called on Russia to move away from the dangerous escalation of tensions with Germany, Europe and NATO, and called for action against what appears to be a spate of Russian sabotage attacks in European countries.
