Efforts of two top diplomats praised on the same day

A bust of Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was unveiled in a ceremony in Tehran in praise of his efforts on the diplomatic front.

US Secretary of State John Kerry will receive the Diplomat of the Year award from Foreign Policy magazine Tuesday night for his role in concluding the Iran nuclear agreement.

Also on Tuesday, a bust of Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif was unveiled – in a ceremony in Tehran to mark National Exports Day – in praise of his efforts on the diplomatic front.

At the ceremony which was attended by the first vice president and the minister of industries, mines and trade, Dr. Zarif was also awarded an accolade.

[The timing of the award: National Exports Day shows the economic aspects of the deal in Iran outweigh its political significance.]
