WANA (Feb 09) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stressed that Tehran will only accept negotiations conducted on an equal footing and based on the win-win principle, saying the Islamic Republic is ready to expand cooperation with countries that respect national sovereignty, international law, and mutual commitments.

 

Speaking on Monday evening,  February 9, at a meeting with foreign ambassadors resident in Tehran, President Pezeshkian described Iran’s foreign policy as grounded in mutual respect, shared interests, and dignified engagement.

He emphasized that Iran seeks guarantees for its lawful rights under the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), including its right to enrichment, as well as the removal of what he called “unjust and illegal” sanctions.

He described Iran’s message to the international community as “clear and transparent,” adding that the Islamic Republic is a reliable partner within the framework of reciprocal obligations.

 

Highlighting his administration’s regional approach, Pezeshkian said expanding relations with neighboring countries, Muslim nations, and actors aligned with multilateralism is a top priority of Iran’s foreign policy. He noted that Iran’s broad capacities in areas such as the economy, transportation, energy, and the knowledge-based sector provide a solid foundation for bilateral and multilateral cooperation.

 

Pezeshkian also emphasized strengthening ties with emerging powers and countries that support an international order based on law and mutual respect, stating that Iran welcomes any initiative that contributes to regional stability, economic development, and constructive cooperation among nations.

 

In conclusion, he said his government’s foreign policy is based on dialogue, de-escalation, and balanced relations, adding that Iran is ready to pursue a path of sustainable engagement with all countries seeking sincere and equal cooperation.
