Japan, India felicitate new FM after confidence vote

Japanese and Indian foreign ministers congratulated Abbas Araghchi after Iran’s Parliament on Wednesday voted in favor of him to become Iran’s new foreign minister.
In a letter to Araghchi, Japan’s Foreign Minister Kamikawa Yoko said she seeks to work together with the new Iran’s foreign minister – a former ambassador to Japan and an expert on Japan – to further develop the bilateral relationship based on the historically friendly relations and to cooperate closely to ease tensions and stabilize the situation in West Asia.
The Japanese foreign minister also expressed her high hope for Iran to play a more constructive role towards peace and stability in the Middle East and to advance cooperation with the international community.
Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar also sent a congratulatory message, saying that he “looks forward to working” with his Iranian counterpart “to further relations.”
On Wednesday, Araghchi won the vote of confidence with 247 votes in favor.
