Foreign Minister of Iran Hossein Amir Abdollahian made it clear that the US must treat the Islamic Republic with respect, noting that cooperation with neighbors in the region is a priority by the new administration.
The top Iranian diplomat said that cooperation with neighbors is a priority of the country’s new administration.
Referring to his meeting with the Prime Minister of the UAE on the sidelines of the Baghdad Summit, Amir Abdollahian in a tweet on early Wednesday wrote, “On the sidelines of the cooperation and participation summit in Baghdad, I had a positive and cordial conversation with UAE PM Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.”
“Iran and the UAE can take big steps towards cooperation and the realization of neighborhood policy and diplomacy,” he added.
“During this meeting, we spoke about the positive intentions and will of the leaders of the two countries to strengthen relations and emphasized the fraternal relations between the two countries,” the foreign minister noted.
“We consult and cooperate with our neighbors to advance our relations and achieve regional cooperation,” he added, as quoted by saying by Mehr news agency.
“Cooperation with neighbors is a priority of the 13th administration.”
Earlier on Tuesday, the top Iranian diplomat had a telephone conversation with his Croatian counterpart Gordan Grlic Radman in which he expounded on Iran’s views about the Vienna talks on the revival of the nuclear deal, officially known as The Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
“Negotiations for the sake of negotiations is not Iran’s policy, as the talks must be focused on the fulfillment of the interests of the Iranian people,” he underlined.
Amir Abdollahian also made it clear that the US can talk to the Iranian nation with the language of respect alone.
The two diplomats also discussed Iran-Croatia ties and the Islamic Republic’s relations with the European Union, stressing the need to expand ties between Tehran and Zagreb in all areas, Tasnim news agency reported.
