“The principles of foreign policy established under the Raisi administration were largely based on Amirabdollahian’s insights.”

In addition, Araqchi referenced comments made by President Masoud Pezeshkian at the Tehran Dialogue Forum, where improvements in Iran’s relations with neighboring states were highlighted. Key points from Araqchi’s speech include:

  • Significant enhancement of relations with countries from the Persian Gulf to the Caucasus and East Asia.
  • The current administration is committed to continuing this diplomatic progress.
  • The presence of Iraqi Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein at the ceremony reflects Amirabdollahian’s successful diplomatic efforts.

Araqchi noted that Hussein’s attendance at the event in Tehran followed the Arab League summit in Baghdad, further demonstrating the positive outcomes of Amirabdollahian’s diplomatic relationships with neighboring nations. This highlights the ongoing efforts to strengthen Iran’s international standing through effective diplomacy.
