Former Iranian acting foreign minister Ali Bagheri Kani has been appointed as secretary of Iran's Strategic Council on Foreign Relations.
The appointment was made on Saturday upon a decree by Kamal Kharrazi, the head of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations.
Bagheri Kani succeeded Abbas Araqchi, the current Iranian Foreign Minister. During a ceremony, Araqchi was appreciated for his great efforts during his tenure.
