Ex-diplomat Jaberi Ansari appointed as CEO of IRNA
New chief vows to strengthen national unity
Jaberi Ansari, a veteran diplomat with three decades of experience in the Iranian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was inducted at a ceremony at IRNA headquarters in Tehran on Sunday.
Salehi thanked Ali Naderi, former IRNA CEO, for his services over the past three years.
In his inaugural speech, Jaberi Ansari pledged to follow the national unity lines set by President Masoud Pezeshkian’s administration.
He also expressed his gratitude to Salehi for entrusting him with the responsibility of leading IRNA.
The new CEO noted that he was taking the helm at a time of significant regional and global developments, including the aftermath of the Operation Al-Aqsa Storm and the Gaza war, as well as the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia. He added that Iran was also entering a new era with the Pezeshkian administration’s focus on national unity.
Jaberi Ansari emphasized that IRNA’s responsibility would be significant in these circumstances, given its 90-year history and its role as a national news agency.
He said that the agency “will not start from scratch,” but rather on the achievements and successes of the past and work to improve the challenges and problems that exist. He emphasized the importance of “teamwork”
in achieving such objectives.
Jaberi Ansari outlined his domestic objectives, prioritizing the strengthening of national unity and cohesion, as well as the promotion of the country’s image and values.
