Speaking among the reporters on the sidelines of the first meeting of new cabinet on Sunday, Zarif said the US violated the JCPOA from the very first day it was implemented, and we had to work hard to carry it out in every case.
He expressed gratitude to the Parliament members for their debates on the proposed ministers, adding "the new cabinet gained the maximum number of confidence votes from the parliament, and we hope that we could realize the goals of the government during the new term.”
Referring to the priorities of the Foreign Ministry during the second term of the government, Zarif underlined two priorities as relations with neighbors and helping the Resistance Economy program, which “we hope we can achieve with the cooperation of all sectors of the government."
Zarif stated that the economic issues in previous term were also among the priorities of the Foreign Ministry, adding all our efforts were to prevent the Ministry of being a burden on people, but rather to eliminate obstacles on the way of Iranians’ welfare, which we hope will follow the path better and more in the new term.
