Iran is interested in improving its friendly and brotherly relations with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and its member states, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said on Friday.

During a phone call with Jassim Mohammed al-Budaiwi, the secretary-general of the GCC, Araghchi emphasized that relations between the Islamic Republic and the organization should enter a new phase of mutual understanding and cooperation.

The two sides discussed ways to enhance cooperation and strengthen relations between Iran and the GCC.

In that context, 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 August 22, that 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.
