Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Majid Takht-Ravanchi called for cooperation and friendly relations between regional countries in a post on X following his visit to Abu Dhabi where Iran and the United Arab Emirates held the first round of political consultations.

The meetings between the deputy FM and UAE Assistance Minister for Political Affairs Lana Nusseibeh, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs Khalifa Shaheen, and the diplomatic advisor to the Emirati president Anwar Gargash, indicated that both sides are eager to "expand relations, particularly in the economic field.”

Just returned from Abu Dhabi where I had a long and fruitful meeting with @LanaNusseibeh, DFM of UAE, within the context of the first round of political consultations between the two countries.

Iran's Foreign Relations

The Deputy Foreign Minister's statements echo those made by the Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Sayyed Ali Khamenei, emphasizing the importance of friendly relations with neighboring countries.

Sayyed Khamenei met with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al Thani and his delegation on February 19, where he emphasized that Iran considers Qatar a friendly and brotherly nation, noting unresolved issues like the return of Iranian financial assets from South Korea to Qatar.

The leader of the Iranian Islamic Revolution said that US interference is the core obstruction for the two countries to reach an agreement, emphasizing that "If I were you, I would ignore American pressure and return the other side's money. We continue to expect such action from Qatar. There's no difference between US presidents whatsoever."

In a similar context, Iran and Russia formalized a historic agreement on comprehensive strategic partnership on January 17, replacing the bilateral relations treaty established in 2001, aiming to enhance collaboration across multiple sectors such as trade, energy, defense, technology, and infrastructure, with particular emphasis on the development of the North-South International Transport Corridor (INSTC).

Iranian President Pezeshkian characterized the agreement as a significant milestone in the bilateral relationship, emphasizing that the major accord signed today will mark the beginning of a new and substantial chapter, particularly in the realms of trade and economic relations between Iran and Russia.
