President Hassan Rouhani: Iran ready to have interaction, cooperation with all countries

“Iran is ready to have interaction, cooperation with all countries,” said President Hassan Rouhani.

“Considering the Islamic Republic of Iran’s geographic and strategic location, as well as its extensive economic capabilities and facilities, we are ready to interact and cooperate with all countries of the world," said President Rouhani in a meeting with ambassadors and heads of diplomatic missions and foreign organizations to Iran.

President Rouhani said: “Interaction and economic cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran as the cheapest communication path is beneficial to the world’s economy and trade”.

Referring to the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Mr Rouhani said: “Iranian people led a huge revolution to victory 37 years ago for independence, freedom, and national sovereignty, despite oppositions by the world powers and they have been eager to have good relations with their neighbours and the world”.

“The 11th government stated since its early days in office that if respect replaces sanctions, the nuclear issue will be solvable through negotiation” he said.

Ruling out claims suggesting that Iran is seeking to dominate the region, Mr Rouhani added: “Serious fight against terrorism and restoring stability to the sensitive Middle East region is very important to Iran and our main goal is to combat terrorism and put an end to instability in the whole region.”
