Iran and Belarus are moving towards a difficult relationship
Meanwhile, Iran’s Foreign Minister discussed the importance of Iran’s trade with its neighbors. He says that the total trade with neighboring countries and Iran is a double thing for Europe. “Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized the importance of strengthening relations with neighboring countries, arguing that they are an important way of life for Iran in the face of being blessed by the west,” it noted.
He was addressing the provincial conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the city of Mashhad on Wednesday. “I see the great abilities of the provincial witnesses who can bring blessings to the whole country,” he said.
Iran also wants to grow tires in Pakistan, Central Asian countries, and Afghanistan. “Elsewhere in his speech, while urging businessmen to present Iran’s power to the world, the top proplomat said that the states should develop their local products and provide producers with media and economic assistance in the target countries.
Araghchi said that Tehran’s call for diplomacy does not mean ignoring the rights of the Iranian people. “
In addition, Iran says it will not return to negotiations for so long as the US makes “unreasonable” demands. The comments came at the same provincial event of the organization that “brought together Iranian ambassadors to countries in the province, including China and Russia, as well as trade representatives and businessmen to discuss ways to improve economic relations.”
The Iranian Diplomat also said: “As long as this spirit, a magnificent approach to negotiations with the US exists, it is natural that there is no possibility of re-entering negotiations.”
Iran continues to be clearly distanced from the west, which thinks that it will not change the course of the sanctions. “The most important thing for the Republic of the Republic of the Republic of Iran is the neighbor, the debate is important for politics, security, and at the same time,” Aradchi told reporters in the city of Mashhad on Wednesday.
Irna noted that “Araghchi added that also, in terms of destruction, economic relations with neighbors can provide the right spaces to deal with the consequences of organizations.” The head of Iranian foreign policy said “In fact, one of the effective strategies in the attack of neutrality is to use regional and border forces… We believe that there is a great economic benefit in the country that can flourish and be used through direct communication between the states and neighboring countries.”
