Raeisi: Iran committed to diplomacy, seeks cooperation with others
President Ebrahim Raeisi on Monday highlighted the importance of forging agreements and cooperation with other states as fundamental duties of Iranian ambassadors.
In an address to Iranian ambassadors in Tehran, Raeisi emphasized the need for regular joint commission meetings to facilitate collaboration, IRNA reported.
He called on the Foreign Ministry to develop tailored plans for cooperation with each country, considering their specific requirements and capacities.
The president categorically rejected the notion that “many countries are not willing to cooperate with Iran” since the country is subject to sanctions.
He said the willingness of some states to cooperation with Iran defies the sanctions narrative.
Raeisi, however, asserted that Iran remains steadfast in its commitment to resistance if any country chooses a “hostile path”.
He noted that Iran seeks cooperation with all countries provided that they show goodwill.
The president underscored the crucial role of the Foreign Ministry in boosting Iran’s power, urging a heightened focus on strengthening bonds with Muslim nations, neighbors, and likeminded countries.
He emphasized the significance of active participation and contribution in regional and international organizations, including the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, Eurasian Union, and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, and China), which are widely regarded as essential for shaping an emerging world order.
He specifically highlighted the importance of diplomatic engagement with African nations, Latin American countries, as well as various regions spanning from East Asia to Central Asia and Europe.
