Iran FM: Path of diplomacy is open
Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian said on Sunday that the way of diplomacy is open and the country continues this way in order to reach a good, sustainable and dignified agreement.
The US is after new conditions for lifting the sanctions, Amirabdollahian noted at the first Foreign Economic Relations Coordination Headquarters meeting held in Tehran this morning.
To strengthen the power of knowledge-based companies and promote exports of products that create job opportunities, the Foreign Ministry along with other ministries makes its all-out efforts, Amirabdollahian noted.
Iran is after the removal of the sanctions; meanwhile, the country should not be dependent on the Vienna talks according to President Ebrahim Raisi’s emphasis on the issue, the foreign minister underlined.
He went on to say that some results have gained over technical issues during the talks with the three European countries.
About the talks in the Austrian capital, the foreign minister said the Islamic Republic has insisted and will insist on its red lines.
The US officials speak about the necessity of holding direct talks with Iran, Amirabdollahian noted adding that Tehran has not received any interest in direct talks with Washington so far.
They insisted over and over on holding direct talks, and Iran said in response that they should take practical measures first if they have goodwill.
