Encounter with US Inevitable: Iranian President
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Highlighting his administration’s push to enhance relations with all countries in the world, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said it is inevitable that Iran and the US will have encounters in regional and international spheres.
In a meeting with a group of former Iranian foreign ministers, held in Tehran on Tuesday, Pezeshkian said his administration believes in affinity with friends and showing tolerance towards enemies.
“In order to address the domestic problems and develop the country, we need to, apart from the settlement of the internal affairs, organize the international relations, remove the tensions and improve the conditions for interaction and communication with the regional and world countries,” he added.
“I believe that even in regard to the US, whether we like it or not, we will finally have to encounter that country in the regional and international arenas. So we’d better manage this sphere by ourselves,” the president added, reaffirming his administration’s commitment to the Iranian establishment’s major strategies and approaches.
Pezeshkian noted that his administration seeks to expand relations with all countries in the world, including with European states.
“Negotiations with the European countries are in progress, but the Zionist regime has tried to cause disruption and complicate the matters in this course with its recent evil acts,” the president added.
