The Leader touched on Iran’s long borders with many and sometimes important and influential countries, saying the policy of the government to communicate with its neighbors is important and right.
“Foreign hands are at work to create problems between Iran and its neighbors. You should not allow this policy to be realized,” he told the Foreign Ministry officials and Iranian envoys.
“The policy of communication with Islamic countries, even those far away, as well as with like-minded and supporting countries is important,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
The Leader touched on the ongoing transformation in the world order and its frequent use in diplomatic literature.
“The transformation in the world order is a long-term process full of uncertainties and possible unforeseen events, where different countries have different and conflicting opinions and approaches toward it.”
Ayatollah Khamenei said a proper placement of Iran in the new order by monitoring and evaluating global developments and knowing the exact direction of events is important.
“Based on this observation and evaluation, practical suggestions should be drawn out,” the Leader said, adding Iran’s ambassadors and representatives should play an important role in this regard, especially in the countries which have a say in international developments.
