Mokhber: Iran will follow late president’s policy of boosting ties
Iran’s Acting President Mohammad Mokhber said on Monday Tehran will follow the late president’s policy of expansion of relations with countries.
Iran is determined to expand and strengthen its international relations, especially with the Muslim and allied countries, Mokhber told the visiting President of the National Assembly of Mali Abdoul Malick Diallo in Tehran.
He described the late president Ebrahim Raisi and his foreign minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollhian as valuable assets for the Islamic world.
Mokhber called for the use of capacities in both countries to promote economic relations between Iran and Mali.
Malick Diallo, for his part, expressed his condolences to Iran over the loss of President Raisi, and said Mali hopes to continue expanding economic and trade relations with Iran.
Raisi, Amir-Abdollahian and six others died on May 19, when their helicopter crashed in foggy weather in the mountains near the northwestern border with Azerbaijan. The charred wreckage of the aircraft was found the following day.
