Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei has stressed the need for Iranian officials to pursue negotiations with international sides from a position of dignity, noting that leniency in foreign policy does not conflict with fundamentals and principles.

“Dignity in foreign policy means negation of the diplomacy of surrender,” Imam Khamenei said in Tehran on Saturday as he addressed a group of Iranian Foreign Ministry officials and ambassadors to other countries.

He added that “wisdom translates into taking landmark decisions within the course of international interactions.”

“Expediency means knowing how to stay flexible as flexibility does not conflict with fundamentals and principles,” Imam Khamenei pointed out.
