[Asia Economy Reporter Kwon Jae-hee] The Joe Biden administration is reportedly set to appoint Robert Malley, a conflict expert who served during the Carter and Barack Obama administrations, as the special envoy to Iran.


On the 28th (local time), the AP news agency cited a senior U.S. State Department official reporting that the Biden administration will appoint Malley as the 'point man' for Iran.


The senior official said, "Malley is a brilliant figure with diverse perspectives," adding, "He will lead the dedicated team."


He continued, "Secretary of State Tony Blinken believes that Malley, who has experience successfully leading negotiations to limit Iran's nuclear program, will get the job done once again."


AP reported that Malley was one of the White House officials who led the 2000 Israel-Palestine peace talks and the 2015 Iran nuclear deal (JCPOA - Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action).
