The good neighborhood policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran has not only led to upgrading its bilateral political ties with neighboring states, but also paved the way for stability for economic collaborations, an Iranian deputy foreign minister said.
Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri Kani, who stays in Warsaw to hold a new round of political consultation with his Polish counterpart, held talks with some ambassadors and diplomats in Poland.
The diplomat pointed to the efficiency of the strategic neighborliness policy of Iran, and underlined that bilateral political trust, dependence on regional capacities to resolve issues, usage of trans-regional capacities for development and progress, as well as consolidation of economic ties or institutionalization of economic cooperation, are among main components of neighborliness policy.
According to the Iranian official, the strategic initiative by Tehran and Riyadh indicated that the regional countries enjoy political maturity to resolve problems inside the West Asian region.
Touching on all political actors’ positive reaction to the recent rapprochement between Iran and Saudi Arabia, Bagheri Kani said, the only entity that was concerned about Tehran-Riyadh collaboration and could not even hide its infuriation was the occupying Israeli regime, because its nature promotes tension, instability, insecurity and chaos in the region.
Answering a question by one of the present ambassadors on NATO’s role in the region, he said that the organization’s military presence in Afghanistan proved that it is not providing security, but it performs as an element for promoting insecurity, because the outcome of 20 years of NATO presence in Afghanistan has been a 45-fold hike in production of narcotics in the war-stricken country.
