The country's strategic policy of de-escalating ties with neighbors is an effective strategy for regional cooperation and will definitely continue, Iran's acting Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani vowed earlier today.

The Iranian acting foreign minister held talks with the UAE's Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan who was visiting Iran to attend the funeral of the late Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian alongside their companions. 

After expressing condolences to high-ranking officials, the Iranian government, and the people on the passing of Raisi and Amir-Abdollahian, the Emirati Foreign Minister said his visit to Iran in this difficult situation is to express the depth of friendship and solidarity and emphasize the brotherly relations between both countries.

In a similar sentiment, the Iranian acting foreign minister stressed that empathy and companionship in difficult times are valuable assets for cooperation to jointly benefit from opportunities and address threats and challenges disrupting the peace, stability, and security in the region. 

Bagheri Kani added that the de-escalation of relations with neighbors is an effective strategy for regional cooperation and a definitive strategic policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which will definitely continue. 

Another note of solidarity and unity between the nation

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad told Iran's acting President Mohammad Mokhber in a phone call earlier today that he will visit Tehran to express condolences over President Raisi's passing. 

"I was very eager to be with the people of Iran these days and meet the Leader of the Islamic Revolution and express my condolences personally, so I will travel to Iran at the first opportunity to express my condolences and strengthen the political ties between the two countries," President Bashar al-Assad said.

The Syrian president emphasized that the Syrian people consider Raisi and Amir-Abdollahian just like General Qassem Soleimani, anti-tyranny individuals who stood against global unilateralism and supported the oppressed in the region and the world. 

"The respect for them is eternal in our country Syria," al-Assad added, highlighting that the reason behind Syria's announcement for public mourning in the country is feelings of sympathy with Iran's great sorrow.

From his end, the Iranian acting President Mohammad Mokhber also stressed, "As in the past, we stand by our commitment to fully support the Axis of Resistance, especially the independent country of Syria, and we will be waiting for your visit in Tehran."
