Turning to the scientific diplomacy of the country, he added, “currently, Iran have established bilateral scientific exchanges with many countries in the world.”
Vatanpour lashed out at the US pullout from Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and said, “sanctions will help us broaden our scientific knowledge and technical know and strengthen quality of domestic productions in line with attaining self-sufficiency in many fields.”
International research activities are not subject to the hostile diplomatic behaviors, he said, adding, “although sanctions imposed on Iran left negative repercussion in the field of provision of drugs especially for patients suffering from serious diseases, these sanctions cannot create any problem ahead of scientific achievements and technological development.”
In conclusion, Vatanpour pointed to the products manufactured by knowledge-based companies and said, “as a principled and valuable work, products of knowledge-based companies are never subject to sanctions regime.”
