He made the comment at a meeting with members of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, briefing them on the latest political and international developments, as well as foreign policy achievements by President Ebrahim Raisi’s administration since he took office a year ago.
Amirabdollahian said that the president is putting emphasis on guidelines set by Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on nullifying sanctions in parallel with keeping on talks, adding that the Foreign Ministry is taking this path with seriousness.
The top diplomat also told the assembly that all attempts by the United States have failed to create new political and security orders in the region without the presence of the Islamic Republic, stressing that no party is able to ignore Iran’s key position and the role it plays.
Amirabdollahian hailed the status of Iran in terms of security and stability, as well as progress and national sovereignty, saying that the great status has been achieved in light of the wise leadership of the Supreme Leader.
With regard to economy, the foreign minister added, the country is on a promising trend considering the administration’s stance that is based on a balanced foreign policy focusing on expanding relations with neighboring and Asian countries, as well as not tying the economy with the 2015 nuclear deal and talks to remove the anti-Iran sanctions.
Amirabdollahian explained that the balanced foreign policy means that the administration has not tied foreign relations to a specific region, and instead it is paying attention to capacities in all continents, while protecting Iran’s national interests.
