He said turning the diplomatic opportunity into lasting cooperation would depend on reaching agreement on common principles, implementing confidence-building measures, respecting countries’ sovereignty, and making concrete commitments.
From Iran’s perspective, sustainable regional security should be established through the participation of regional countries, without the military presence or interference of extra-regional powers, the foreign minister added.
Araghchi said this approach was based on the responsibility of regional countries to determine their own future. He also stressed that countering the Israeli regime’s hostile actions and aggression was essential to safeguarding national independence and sovereignty and preventing the expansion of war.
The foreign minister reiterated that neighboring countries remained Iran’s priority.
