President stresses Iran’s resolve to improve ties with world
Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian emphasized Iran’s resolve to improve the level of relations with its neighbors, regional countries and other countries in the world based on mutual respect and benefits.
The Iranian president made the remarks in separate meetings with new ambassadors of Qatar, Niger, Sudan, Germany, Norway and Denmark in Tehran where he received the credentials of the ambassadors.
During his meetings with new ambassadors of Germany, Denmark, Norway, Pezeshkian also said his government seeks to restore “friendly” relations with European countries.
“In the past, we had good relations in the economic, commercial, cultural and social fields, and the 14th government of Iran is seeking to restore those friendly relations and expansion of cooperation, especially in the economic and commercial fields”, the Iranian president said.
Since taking office in July and during the election campaigns, Pezeshkian has repeatedly emphasized his determination to improve the country’s relations with the world, especially with neighboring countries.
Relations between Iran and some European countries have soured over the past years after the countries’ lack of compliance with the 2015 nuclear agreement under the US pressure, from which Washington unilaterally withdrew in 2018 and reimposed illegal sanctions against Iran.
