President : Iran seeks ‘constructive cooperation’ with all countries
Pezeshkian made the remarks in a meeting during which he received credentials from the new ambassadors of Ethiopia, Estonia, Djibouti, Laos, Cambodia, Burundi, Latvia, Myanmar, and Nepal.
The president said Iran is ready and interested in expanding relations with the mentioned countries in all political, economic, commercial, cultural, scientific, and technological fields, based on respect and aimed at ensuring mutual interests.
“On the path to development of peace, stability, tranquility, and welfare for all, we must cooperate, accompany, and have synergy with each other”, he said.
Touching upon the issue of Gaza, he said all countries, not least the Islamic countries, must make more serious efforts to stop Israel’s crimes, lift the blockade, and provide unlimited aid to the innocent people of Gaza.
“The massacre of innocent people and blocking their access to food, water, and medicine under the name of self-defense is an inhumane disaster,” Pezeshkian said, stressing that the greater disaster is unfolding as Israel’s crimes are being committed before the eyes of those who claim to advocate for human rights and democracy.
Nearly two years of Israel’s brutal strikes on Gaza has killed more than 61,000 people in the besieged Palestinian territory. The regime has also imposed a restricted entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza for months, which has led to a widespread starvation. Nearly 200 Palestinians – half of them children – have lost their lives due to the forced starvation in Gaza.
The regime has also destroyed more than 88% of the Gaza Strip’s total area and displaced two million Palestinians since launching its genocidal war on October 7, 2023.
