Pezeshkian urges end to Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza
Iran’s President-elect Masoud Pezeshkian says all capacities must be utilized to end Israel’s genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip.
In a phone conversation with Kazakhstan’s President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on Monday, Pezeshkian hailed Astana’s support for a move by the UN General Assembly to endorse a resolution for the reconsideration of Palestine’s bid for UN membership.
The resolution was spearheaded by the United Arab Emirates (on behalf of the Arab Group). It was adopted on May 10 by overwhelming consensus with 143 member states – including Kazakhstan – voting in favor, 9 against and 25 abstentions.
Pezeshkian said the development of Iran’s relations with Kazakhstan is among the priorities of the Islamic Republic’s foreign policy.
“The two countries have diverse and huge capacities to boost cooperation in the fields of transit, energy and technical-engineering.”
The Iranian president-elect said the country is the safest and most economical transit route to connect Kazakhstan and other Central Asian countries to the high seas and global markets.
“Iran and Kazakhstan have good capacities for regional and international cooperation as well as cooperation in the form of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the Eurasian Economic Union.”
Kazakhstan’s president, for his part, said Kazakhstan was keen to promote cooperation with Iran in such sectors as transit, energy, technical and engineering services as well as financial, economic and commercial exchanges.
