WNAM REPORT: In an article titled “My Message to the New World” published by the Tehran Times Daily on Friday, Iran’s President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian has outlined his perspective and approach to relations with countries in the region, Africa, and Europe, as well as China, Russia, and the United States.
The world’s mainstream media has reflected the President’s stand on foreign policy and reacted to his views based on their own policies.
Reacting to the message of Iran’s president-elect, Associated Press in an article on Saturday, quoting from Pezeshkian’s message wrote that Iran’s newly elected president said his government will create “balance in relations with all countries” in line with national interests and the prerequisites for peace but stressed to the United States that his country “will not respond to pressure.”
Pezeshkian, in the letter Friday, hailed his country’s relations with Russia and China which “consistently stood by us during challenging times.” He said Moscow was “a valued strategic ally” and his government would expand bilateral cooperation. He also expressed willingness to “support initiatives aimed at” achieving peace between Russia and Ukraine in the ongoing war that entered its third year.
The president also said he looked forward to furthering cooperation with Beijing and applauded it for brokering a deal to normalize relations between Iran and Saudi Arabia after seven years of diplomatic tensions.
Pezeshkian said he looks forward to engaging in constructive dialogue with European countries “based on principles of mutual respect” despite a relationship that has known “its ups and downs.”
