Iran calls for 'new phase' in cooperation with Persian Gulf states
Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has called for a "new phase" of mutual understanding and cooperation between Iran and the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).
During a phone call with GCC Secretary-General Jassim Mohammed al-Budaiwi, Araghchi stressed that Iran is keen to promote its “friendly and brotherly” ties with the council and its member states.
Relations between Iran and the GCC should enter a "new phase of mutual understanding and cooperation," Iran’s foreign minister said.
For his part, al-Budaiwi congratulated Araghchi on his appointment as the new Iranian foreign minister and discussed ways to strengthen ties between Tehran and the council.
Stressing that Iran plays an important role in enhancing peace and stability of the region, al-Budaiwi said GCC states are interested in consulting with Iran on the major challenges that face the region.
President Masoud Pezeshkian has pledged that his administration would prioritize bolstering ties with neighbors.
“Under my administration, we will prioritize strengthening relations with our neighbors,” Pezeshkian wrote in an article on July 12.
“We will champion the establishment of a ‘strong region’ rather than one where a single country pursues hegemony and dominance over the others,” he added.
On Thursday, Pezeshkian stressed that the Islamic Republic’s principled policy is to foster peace and friendship, prevent tensions and interact with world countries.
