Amirabdollahian said in a press conference on the sidelines of the third Tehran Dialogue Forum (TDF 2022) on Monday that his Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani and Deputy Secretary-General European Union Enrique Mora as well as he himself and High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell continue consultations.
Borrell and Mora are going to visit Jordan concurrent with the arrival of the Iranian delegation to the second Baghdad Conference on December 20, the Iranian top diplomat said.
The conference in Amman is a proper opportunity to accomplish talks on the revival of the 2015 nuclear deal officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), he said, expressing hope that despite the Americans’ attitude in the last three months, a change of approach and realistic behavior from the American side would be seen.
As to the negotiations with Saudi Arabia on resumption of diplomatic ties, he noted that the talks are in the path of official diplomacy and Iran is ready, whenever the Saudis are prepared, to reopen embassies and return the relationship to a normal mode, so this is the Saudi side that should decide how to pursue a constructive approach towards Iran.
He further said that the second Baghdad Conference can provide an atmosphere to get away from challenges and that the main message of the event should focus on regional cooperation without foreigners’ intervention.
The Islamic Republic has always embraced dialogue and collaboration with regional nations, including Arab littoral states of the Persian Gulf, the foreign minister underlined.
