Pouya Mahmoudian, a deputy head of Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization (ICHTO) said the centre is to be established at the Islamic Republic’s suggestion.

“During the recent visit of Zurab Pololikashvili, the Secretary-General of the World Tourism Organization, to Iran, we offered to establish a new centre charged with linking tourism demands and handicrafts supplies,” he said.

According to Mahmoudian, the offer was made based on a deep belief in strong bonds between the two areas and also Iran’s capacities as the third largest producer of handicrafts in the world.

He went on to say that the proposal was raised and discussed extensively among the member states and finally approved unanimously.

The offer, he added, was aimed at deepening the bonds between tourism and handicrafts to open new horizons for both industries in today’s world.

According to the Iranian official, as the first phase of the project to establish the new centre, the Islamic Republic is planning to hold a conference on tourism and handicrafts next year.

The conference is to be attended by the representatives of the WTO member states to prepare the ground for further exchange of knowhow and experiences in the mentioned areas.

He also said efforts are underway to set forth new plans and develop various roadmaps to make the project operational.

To this end, the Islamic Republic is involved in direct negotiations with the World Tourism Organization which will officially announce Iran as the host of the new centre at the end of its upcoming meeting, he added.

French Graphic Artist Holds Exhibition in Memory of Iranian Maestro

Thomas Huot-Marchand (1977) lives and works in Besançon, France. After graduating in Besançon School of Fine Arts in 2001, he joined the Atelier national de recherché typographique (ANRT) where he studied typeface design. He designed the Minuscule, rewarded by the Type Directors Club in 2005, and later considered as one of the “ten typefaces of the decade” (Paul Shaw, Imprint).

In 2006, he spent one year at the Académie de France à Rome – Villa Medici. He taught graphic and typographic design in Besançon and in Amiens from 2002 to 2012.

Since 2012, he’s been the director of the Atelier national de recherche typographique, a post-graduate research course based in Nancy. He published in 2016 the catalogue of ANRT Archives, 1985-2006. He’s still working as a freelance graphic and type designer in Besançon.

Since 2017, Thomas’s typefaces have been put on show for public.

The works of this French artist are now on show in Tehran on the occasion of the thirteenth demise anniversary of renowned Iranian graphic designer Morteza Momayyez.

Momayyez was born on August 26, 1936 in Tehran. He was a graphic designer, illustrator, and a university professor. He is the father of Iranian graphic arts.

The French Embassy’s cultural attaché to Iran participated in the ceremony and introduced Thomas Huot-Marchand.

He said Morteza Momayyez is one of the influential people in the Iranian art. “He is also of particular importance to us in the French School of Decorative Arts. In recent years, several French graphic artists have trave;led to Iran to show their works, and this is valuable for us. Because these trips provide great opportunities for exhibitions and discussions between graphic artists from both countries.”

According to Momayyez’s son, due to the renewed US sanctions, the foundation had trouble transferring Huot-Marchand’s works to Iran via mail. “He brought the collection with himself for the exhibit,” said Anushirvan Momayyez.

This exhibition will run through November 29 at the Iranian Artists Forum.

They also talked about various issues in bilateral relations between Tehran and Kabul.

Organized by the UN and the government of Afghanistan, the Geneva Conference kicked off earlier Tuesday with high-ranking officials from over 60 countries as well as a large number of representatives from international bodies in attendance.

The two-day conference is expected to evaluate whether or not strategies and aid offered by others to Afghanistan to resolve the crisis in the country can pave the way for the withdrawal of foreign troops.

Iran, EU Hold 4th Round of Political Talks in Brussels

The talks were held both in the afternoon and in the evening. The meetings were co-chaired by Abbas Araqchi, the deputy Iranian foreign minister for political affairs, and Helga Schmid, the Secretary General of the European External Action Service.

The negotiations brought together a delegation from the Iranian parliament and Foreign Ministry as well as directors general of different departments of the European Commission.

High on the agenda was mutual cooperation in the fields of agriculture, education and research, trade, energy, climate change, transportation, banking issues, migrants’ issues, illicit drugs, natural disasters, human rights and fighting terrorism.

The two sides exchanged views on last year’s performance in the above-mentioned areas and reached agreement on ways of promoting future programs. The second part of the discussions revolved around regional issues.

In an opening speech, Araqchi highlighted the strategic importance of the Iran nuclear deal for regional and international peace and security. He said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has in 13 reports corroborated the Islamic Republic of Iran’s full commitment to its obligations under the nuclear agreement.

The official underscored the need for other signatories to the Iran nuclear deal, especially the EU and the European countries, to reciprocate Iran’s compliance with the agreement and expedite the implementation of the deal in an efficient manner amid Washington’s illegal pullout from the deal.

He said any foot-dragging on the fulfilment of commitments under the deal will cause “this key diplomatic achievement for the international community” to face serious challenges. In that case, he said, Iran will make decisions based on its own interests and independence.

This round of high-profile talks coincided with the third Iran-EU seminar on peaceful nuclear cooperation in the Belgian capital, Brussels. The Iran-EU seminar was co-chaired by Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Ali Akbar Salehi and the head of the EU energy commission.

‘France, Germany Step in to Bypass US Bans by Hosting SPV’

The Monday report said the governments participating in the payment channel will directly manage the company (mechanism) in order to prevent the US from putting direct sanctions on it.

According to the diplomats, British officials are also mulling over joining France and Germany in order to rescue the European attempt to circumvent the US sanctions and salvage the Iran nuclear deal following the US’ withdrawal in May.

The report said if France plays host to the SPV, Germany will take the helm, and vice versa.

According to the report, the mechanism is not finalized yet and finishing touches will be discussed on the sidelines of the 2018 G20 Buenos Aires summit, scheduled to begin on November 30.

The move comes after Luxembourg and Austria, under the US pressure, refused to host the SPV, with Luxembourg officials being warned that hosting the mechanism could damage the country’s place as a major financial center hosting many international investment funds, European diplomats said.

The report was released during the visit of Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi to Brussels, Belgium, where he attended the third seminar on peaceful nuclear cooperation between Tehran and the European Union.

The European Union hosted the AEOI chief at the seminar aimed at showing the bloc’s continuing support for the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action.

A Look at Iranian Newspaper Front Pages on November 19

The controversy over Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif’s comments about ‘rampant’ money laundering in Iran remained a top story today, as several conservative lawmakers have expedited their efforts to have him impeached over the comments. However, the conservative paper Javan urged the lawmakers not to try to impeach Zarif under the current sensitive situation, where he is the only voice of Iran against the US and its policies.

Also a top story was the remarks made by Iran’s nuclear chief Ali Akbar Salehi, during which he warned the international community of the ‘unpredictable’ and ‘ominous’ consequences of the annulment of the Iran nuclear deal.

The death of great Italian filmmaker Bernardo Bertolucci at the age of 77 also received great coverage in toda’s papers.

Iran Warns over ‘Unpredictable’ Consequences of JCPOA Annulment

Salehi

“If words are not turned into deeds, then … it is very ominous, the situation would be unpredictable,” Salehi told reporters on Monday on the sidelines of the third EU-Iran High-Level Seminar on ‘International Nuclear Cooperation’.

Earlier in the day, in a joint press conference with European Commissioner Miguel Arias Cañete, Salehi said the JCPOA is perhaps the best nuclear agreement in the minds of the delegations which held marathon talks to clinch it.

He thanked Europeans for their attempts to preserve the Iran nuclear deal and said the Islamic Republic is hopeful that through mutual cooperation, the remaining signatories of the deal including Russia and China could preserve the accord after the US unilateral withdrawal back in May.

“Today the JCPOA is the only possible deal,” Salehi said, expressing hope that the international community would do its best to preserve it “because if the deal collapses, neither Iran, nor the European Union nor the international community will gain any achievement.”

The Iranian official also said the Iran nuclear deal is a supplement to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and added if the JCPOA fails, the situation will change and turmoil will prevail.

“The European Union has made hard attempts to preserve the Iran nuclear deal and I thank the Europeans for that. They have remained steadfast in this path and explicitly announced that they deem the deal significant for Europe’s security,” he noted.

Salehi expressed hope that the remaining signatories including Russia and China could keep the accord alive and added this is a battle in which all remaining sides should be the winner because “we can’t put up with being a loser.”

He said the political remarks by European as well as Chinese and Russian officials should be translated into reality; otherwise, the future prospect will remain unpredictable.
