Elsewhere in his remarks, President Raeisi pointed to nuclear deal, JCPOA, inked between Iran and six world’s major powers in mid-July 2015 and said that Islamic Republic of Iran will resume nuclear talks in Vienna but the most important thing that should be taken into serious consideration is that that nuclear negotiations must secure interests of all people of the country.
“We are serious in result-oriented negotiations and other parties involved in nuclear talks should show their seriousness in lifting illegal and oppressive sanctions imposed against the country,” he emphasized.
Turning to Iran’s accession in Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), President Raeisi called on all activists in economic sector of the country to make their utmosteffort in line with strengthening ties with all SCO’s member states.
Iran eyes establishing relations with its neighbors as a top priority, he said, adding, “Today, most regional and neighboring countries have shown their vehement interest to establish ties especially trade and economic ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran, so that this golden opportunity should be used optimally.”
He also pointed to the position of Islamic Republic of Iran towards the developments in Afghanistan, saying that the formation of an inclusive government that can represent all groups active in Afghanistan is supported by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
