Tehran - Saba:
Iranian First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref confirmed that the current Iranian government did not pin its hopes on negotiations to resolve the country's problems.
Iran's Tasnim News Agency quoted Aref as saying on Tuesday: "We did not pin our hopes on negotiations to resolve the country's problems. Our strategy regarding the country's issues is not to look outside the country, but rather to look inward."
Aref emphasized that the current Iranian government has decided not to link unrelated issues and to adopt a position of equal engagement with all countries, with the exception of the Zionist entity. He added, "We are qualified for negotiations and dialogue, but only under appropriate and balanced circumstances."
Aref continued, "Our strategy regarding the country's issues is not to look outside the country, but rather to look inward. In fact, there are very significant potentials in all areas of the country that we have not sufficiently exploited.
There are several reasons for this; one of them is the short-term perspective that officials often adopt, as they seek to achieve results during their term and neglect long-term work."
The current Iranian government's approach is to put citizens at the center of business, he added. "Therefore, we have not pinned our hopes not only on these negotiations, but also on any special relationship with any country, even though we deal with all countries that desire a relationship with us, based on our priorities, such as neighboring countries, African countries, and major powers with a successful economic presence and experience in the ancient continent (Asia)."
Arif emphasized that Iran's position is the same as that affirmed by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran today, and fortunately, there is an indirect negotiation process with America. He expressed his hope that these negotiations will ultimately achieve what is in the interest of the Iranian regime and the well-being of the country and its people.
