Iranian, Japanese Diplomats Discuss Syria Developments

In a telephone conversation on Wednesday, Ali-Asghar Khaji, the Iranian foreign minister’s senior assistant in special political affairs, and Japan’s Special Coordinator for Syria Akira Endo talked about the latest developments in Syria, including the most recent meeting of the Constitutional Committee, the Astana Peace Process, the situation in Idlib and east of the Euphrates, as well as the humanitarian conditions.

The Iranian and Japanese diplomats expressed satisfaction with the holding of the third session of the Syrian Constitutional Committee in Geneva, voiced support for the continuation of dialogue and political process, particularly within the framework of the Constitutional Committee, and stressed the need for the international community to dispatch more humanitarian aid to Syria, given the coronavirus pandemic and the escalation of humanitarian situation in that country.

In the phone call, Khaji highlighted the Islamic Republic of Iran’s principled policy on the political settlement of the crisis in Syria and supporting the Syrian-Syrian talks within the framework of the Constitutional Committee, which has been established as part of an initiative developed by the Astana Process guarantor states, and called for non-interference from outside in the activities of the Committee.

The Iranian diplomat also condemned the US’ illegal presence in Syria and its measures to plunder Syria’s oil and sponsor the terrorist groups, stressing the need for the US’ withdrawal from Syria and the continuation of the fight against terrorism until its eradication in that country.

Khaji further welcomed plans for the promotion of regional cooperation between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Japan.

He finally called for Japan’s continued delivery of humanitarian aids to all parts of Syria, and expressed Iran’s readiness for help in this regard.

For his part, Akira Endo highlighted Iran’s prominent role in the resolution of crisis in Syria, and praised the efforts by the Astana Process guarantor states.

In a telephone conversation with Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on Wednesday, President Rouhani underlined that fighting is definitely not the solution to problems and disputes between Yerevan and Baku.

Highlighting the significant and age-old relations that Iran has held with both Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan on the basis of common history and culture, the president expressed Iran’s readiness to play any constructive role acceptable to its two friends and neighbours.

“Our wish is an immediate end to the clashes, as all of us should try to settle the region’s problems politically and through international regulations,” President Rouhani added.

“Stability and security could lay the foundation for development, and our region cannot stand instability and a new war,” he underlined, noting that the decades-old dispute between Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh requires a solution in compliance with the international law and the territorial integrity of the parties.

Calling for a halt to the armed clashes between the two neighbouring states, President Rouhani urged Yerevan and Baku to act prudently and show self-restraint.

The Iranian president also warned that any foreign interference in the conflict would only aggravate the situation and drag out the clashes and tensions.

For his part, Pashinyan said he welcomes any practical initiative for the cessation of violence.

The Armenian prime minister also noted that any tension and conflict would be detrimental to all regional countries.

He finally voiced concern about foreign interference in his country’s disputes with the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The military forces of Armenia and the Republic of Azerbaijan have started a new round of clashes over the disputed region of Nagorno-Karabakh since Sunday, the heaviest fighting between the two countries in years.

Iran has repeatedly asked the two neighbours to cease hostilities and hold negotiations to resolve the dispute peacefully.

Iran Rejects UAE Claims, Reasserts Sovereignty over Trio Persian Gulf Islands

Iran Rejects UAE Claims, Reasserts Sovereignty over Trio Persian Gulf Islands

In a statement released on Wednesday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Saeed Khatibzadeh rejected the comments that foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates has made in a session of the United Nations General Assembly.

“Iran’s sovereignty over the Iranian islands of Abu Musa, the Greater Tunb, and the Lesser Tunb is definite and irrefutable, and all of Iran’s measures have been taken within the framework of exercising its sovereignty and territorial integrity, and clearly have nothing to do with any foreign government,” the spokesperson added.

“Such (Emirati) comments and repetition of groundless claims have had and would have no impact on our country’s sovereignty, as they lack any legal validity,” Khatibzadeh stated.

He further deplored the UAE’s destructive interference in a number of countries and its active participation in warmongering, saying Abu Dhabi’s agreement on normalization of ties with the usurping, belligerent and crisis-creating Zionist regime has in fact turned the UAE into part of the crisis in the West Asia region.

The statement came after the UAE’s Minister for Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan rehashed his country’s previous position in a speech to the general debate of the 75th Session of the UN General Assembly on Tuesday, claiming that his country has legal right regarding sovereignty over the three Persian Gulf islands and alleging that Iran has occupied the islands in violation of the UN Charter.

Although people residing in the cities of Qasr-e Shirin, Kermanshah and Sarpol-e Zahab near the western border with Iraq had been under Iraqi artillery fire for a month, no one would have thought that Iraq wanted to launch a war against Iran to conquer the country.

Speaking in a weekly cabinet session on Wednesday, President Hassan Rouhani said US authorities are hatching plots against Iran at a time when they themselves have difficulties.
“The Americans themselves are bogged down in a very difficult situation,” he said.

“If you have seen their debate last night, or if you read about it in media and on the internet today, you’ll realize what situation they are in,” he added.

“On the one hand, they have had the worst management with regards to the coronavirus pandemic, and they are gripped by the worst unemployment rate today,” he said.

“On the other hand, domestic unrest inside the US is worse than before; moreover, they have not made any achievements in the foreign policy arena,” he added.

“They were unsuccessful in foreign policy, not only towards Iran, but towards the region or the Pacific or Europe or NAFTA. They were unsuccessful in the foreign policy domain everywhere,” President Rouhani noted.

“It is natural that a country with so many problems wants to spread its difficulties to the world outside the US,” he said.

“Under such circumstances, they are hatching plots against Iran,” he said.

“Today, the US is applying the most hostile, criminal and terrorist policies vis-à-vis the Iranian nation and against 84 million Iranian people,” he noted.

He then urged all to stay united to tackle the existing problems caused by the US pressure.

Muscat's Ties with Tehran Very Significant to Oman's New Sultan

In a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Tuesday, Omani envoy Ibrahim bin Ahmad Al-Moeini said the Sultanate of Oman is determined to promote cooperation with Iran in all fields of mutual interest, especially the economic ties.

The Sultan of Oman attaches great importance to relationship with Iran, the ambassador added, saying the two countries constitute the “strategic depth” of each other.

“We believe that Iran is a treasure trove of economic, scientific, technical and cultural opportunities that must be seized,” Al-Moeini stated, adding that the “sustainable and developing” economic ties between Tehran and Muscat would grow more rapidly.

In turn, President Rouhani expressed Iran’s interest in the enhancement of relations with “brotherly and friendly” Oman in various fields.

“The relations between Iran and Oman that are based upon good neighborliness, friendship and fraternity must continue to grow, particularly in the economic sphere,” he said.

Highlighting the major role of banking and financial cooperation in the promotion of economic ties, President Rouhani finally hoped that Iran and Oman would strengthen their economic interaction to serve the interests of the two nations.

Iran Reaffirms Respect for Azerbaijan Republic’s Territorial Integrity

Mahmoud Vaezi, the chief of staff of the Iranian president, made the remarks in a Wednesday phone conversation with Azeri Deputy Prime Minister Shahin Mustafayev.
“The Azerbaijan Republic enjoys an important and special place in the Islamic Republic of Iran’s foreign policy, and we have always seized every opportunity to boost and expand our relations with this country,” said Vaezi.

The Iranian official expressed concern over the conflict and dispute between the Azerbaijan Republic and Armenia.

“We monitor the recent developments carefully and seriously, and we stand ready to offer any assistance to help settle the differences between the two countries within the framework of international law and regulations,” he added.

Vaezi then denied rumours spread by some media and social networks suggesting Iran is offering assistance to Armenia in its conflict with the Azerbaijan Republic.

“These rumours are completely baseless and are aimed at straining good relations between Iran and the Azerbaijan Republic,” he said.

“Undoubtedly, good, strategic and all-out relations between Tehran and Baku will not be swayed by such groundless rumours, and moves by ill-wishers of the two countries’ relations will be to no avail,” Vaezi added.

The Azeri official, in turn, said in the phone talk that Iran is a good neighbour of the Azerbaijan Republic and that the two sides enjoy cordial ties. He said the two countries should not allow their good relations to be affected by efforts aimed at spoiling those ties.
He said Iran and the Azerbaijan Republic have religious, cultural and social commonalities, adding mutual relations stand at a very good level today.

That came in a Tuesday meeting between Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Portugal’s new Ambassador to Tehran Carlos Antonio Rico Da Costa Nos where the president received the top Portuguese diplomat’s credentials.

“The 500th anniversary of [the establishment of] Iran-Portugal’s historical relations is just around the corner, and we hope relations between the two countries will expand in all areas, especially in the economic domain,” said the president.

“Portugal along with other European countries has always supported international regulations and multilateral agreements, particularly the Iran nuclear deal, and opposed unilateral actions and unilateralism,” President Rouhani added.

He said Iran is keen to work with Portugal in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic, and added exchanging experience in that field can give fresh impetus to efforts aimed at fighting and containing the disease on the world stage.

The top Portuguese diplomat, in turn, said Lisbon would like to further expand its relations with Tehran.

He said he will make every effort to further boost mutual relations in various areas.
He touched upon cultural and literary cooperation between the two countries, expressing hope the Portuguese language seat in Tehran will become operational.

He said the translation of both countries’ books can serve as a bridge between people and cultures of both countries.
