Message of Araghchi’s...
Page 1
I firmly believe that Araghchi has the necessary qualifications, skills and experience to shoulder the main responsibilities that come with the position of foreign minister. While there are indeed many talented diplomats within the ministry, Araghchi stands out due to his extensive work experience and grasp of various issues, particularly his involvement in the nuclear negotiations.
Although it is expected that Araghchi will secure the Parliament’s vote of confidence without any major hurdles, a high approval rating would undoubtedly bolster his position and provide a strong mandate as he take on his duties.
The Parliament’s endorsement of Araghchi also sends a powerful message to the international community, particularly to Iran’s counterparts in specific dossiers. It signals that the new Iranian government is committed to resolving disputes within the framework of its national interests and favors dialogue and diplomacy. Naturally, foreign parties will welcome his selection as they have had the opportunity to work with the Foreign Minister-designate and have witnessed his expertise and the quality of his work in previous rounds of negotiations.
Yesterday, Araghchi presented his plans to the lawmakers, and the essence of his program is very much in line with the policies announced by Pezeshkian, focusing on safeguarding Iran’s national interests while upholding dignity, expediency, and wisdom.
Araghchi’s appointment carries significant weight both domestically and internationally. Domestically, it reflects the president’s commitment to relying on specialists and experts, while internationally, it signals Iran’s continued dedication to diplomacy and dialogue, as demonstrated by the selection of one of its most seasoned diplomats with a proven track record in negotiations.
