Regional States Prioritized in Iran’s Foreign Policy: President
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian highlighted the place of neighboring and regional countries in his administration’s foreign policy agenda.
In a message to his Uzbek counterpart Shavkat Mirziyoyev on Saturday, Pezeshkian congratulated the Central Asian country’s leader and “friendly and brotherly” nation on its Independence Day.
He expressed confidence that the relations between Iran and Uzbekistan will further grow on the basis of mutual respect.
The Iranian president also noted that a top priority in his administration’s foreign policy is the promotion of cooperation with neighboring and regional states, especially the Republic of Uzbekistan.
Mirziyoyev took power in Uzbekistan in December 2016, following the death of Islam Karimov, who had ruled the country since independence in 1991.
