The Brazilian Foreign Minister expressed his full commitment to working closely with Araghchi to initiate new projects and further enhance the bilateral relationship between Brazil and Iran, emphasizing the importance of their diplomatic ties, which have spanned over 120 years.

Araghchi announced earlier Iran's willingness to ease tensions with the US and revive relations with European countries if they halt their "hostile approach" to the Islamic Republic.

The diplomat explained in an interview with Japan's Kyodo News, published on Thursday, the important step to normalizing trade relations with the international community and boosting Iran's economy is through managing tensions with Washington and rekindling ties with European countries, provided they comply with Tehran's conditions of lifting sanctions and restoring the 2015 multilateral nuclear agreement (JCPOA).

Araghchi is a former nuclear negotiator and defender of the JCPOA.

"In my foreign policy address to the Islamic Consultative Assembly, I highlighted the crucial objective of lifting sanctions, particularly unilateral ones, through earnest, focused, and time-bound negotiations while upholding the nation's fundamental principles," he said.
