There is a full coordination in terms of security, strategic and executive issues when it comes to the development process of the country’s foreign relations, Kharrazi said in an interview with Strategic Council Online, the official website of the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations which is an advisory body formed by a decree of the Supreme Leader in 2006.
Kharrazi made the comments in response to reactions to his trips this week to Syria and Lebanon, as well as visits by Secretary of Supreme National Security Council Ali Shamkhani to China and the UAE in March.
Unfortunately, some people “misused” developments regarding those trips and considered them as being uncoordinated with the Foreign Ministry, Kharrazi said.
This shows that they are unaware of the coordinated plans in our country on foreign relations, he added.
The official explained that the Supreme National Security Council is in charge of dealing with high security issues, while the Strategic Council on Foreign Relations proposes strategies and the Foreign Ministry is tasked with executing foreign policy, with all acting bodies in a coordinated manner.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Kharrazi said that his trips to Syria and Lebanon were aimed at evaluating the situation in those countries and the amount of the success of Iran’s foreign policy in West Asia.
He said that the move by Arab countries to resume diplomatic relations with Syria shows that stability is being restored to the country following the years-long “devastating war managed from outside.”
In Lebanon, he added, Hezbollah Resistance Movement has turned into a power making the Zionist regime not dare attack Lebanon.
“These conditions show the success of Iran’s foreign policy,” Kharrazi added.
