President: Iran Pursuing Friendly Interaction with World
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed his administration’s policy of friendly interaction with other nations across the world.
The Iranian president on Tuesday received the credentials of the new ambassadors of Armenia, Turkmenistan, Ireland, Britain, the Netherlands, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Cuba, Kuwait, and Mauritania.
“The 14th administration of Iran is seeking to strengthen ties with the other countries through dialogue. We also respect Ireland for its supportive stance toward the Palestinian people, and we hope that the Zionist regime’s crimes against the defenseless people of Gaza would come to an end as soon as possible and aid delivery begins,” Pezeshkian told Irish Ambassador Lisha Teresa Moore Dorichek.
Israel’s war on Gaza was also one of the topics the president discussed with the new British ambassador, Hugo Shorter.
Pezeshkian criticized the Western countries’ inaction on the Zionist regime’s “unprecedented crimes” against innocent women and children in Gaza. He said the inaction is totally unacceptable and unjustifiable, considering the Western states’ claims that they champion human rights.
In his meeting with the new Dutch ambassador Emiel de Bont, Pezeshkian said that his public stance has focused on forging consensus inside and interaction with the world even during the presidential election campaign in Iran.
“The Zionist regime however tried to obstruct the progress of that approach since my inaugural day and drag us to war by assassinating Mr. Haniyeh, the official guest of the Islamic Republic,” the president said, his official website reported.
In his meeting with the Kenyan, Mauritanian and Sierra Leonean ambassadors, the Iranian president emphasized the importance of expansion of Iran’s ties with the three African countries.
Pezeshkian also discussed expansion of Iran’s ties with the new ambassadors of Turkmenistan and Armenia, saying that boosting relations with neighbors is the strategic policy of Iran.
In a meeting with the new Cuban envoy Jorge Fernando Lefebre Nicolas, Pezeshkian said Iran and Cuba have paid prices for their fight against imperialism, adding that independent countries can support each other in resolving the problems they face.
The Iranian president, in his meeting with the new Kuwaiti ambassador Mishal Ahmad Al-Mansour, emphasized the need to forge brotherly ties among the Islamic countries.
