Iran FM, Canadian PM Meet in Munich

Iran FM, Canadian PM Meet in Munich

The meeting was held on Friday on the sidelines of the annual Munich Security Conference.

Following the meeting with Prime Minister Trudeau, Zarif also met his Canadian counterpart François-Philippe Champagne.
The talks between Iran and Canada come a few weeks after the accidental downing of a Ukrainian passenger plane in Tehran, which killed all the 176 on board, including dozens of Iranian-Canadian citizens.

Following the tragic incident, Ottawa has been in touch with Tehran despite the Canadian government’s decision to sever ties with Iran in 2012.

Canada and Iran have had no formal diplomatic relations since then. Canadian consular and passport services are provided through other Canadian diplomatic missions in other countries in the Middle East while Iran maintains an interests section at the Embassy of Pakistan in Washington, D.C.
The government headed by PM Trudeau which took office in 2015, has reportedly been reviewing relations with Iran and, like most countries, lifted most of its economic sanctions following the Iran nuclear agreement in July 2015. But Donald Trump’s re-imposition of Iran sanctions in 2018 has once again reduced the chances for a thaw in relations.

Iran, Nigeria to Convene Joint Commission

Iran’s Embassy in Abuja held a ceremony to mark the 41st anniversary of victory of the Islamic Revolution.

In comments at the event, attended by a number of foreign ambassadors and diplomats, Iranian nationals residing in Nigeria, as well as the political and cultural figures, Iran’s envoy in the African country unveiled plans for a meeting of Iran-Nigeria Joint Commission in the near future.

Morteza Rahimi also hailed the growing relations between Tehran and Abuja, making a reference to a recent meeting between the Iranian vice president for economic affairs and President of Nigeria Muhammadu Buhari.

The ambassador further highlighted the Islamic Republic’s progress and the Iranian people’s perseverance against the economic and political acts of terrorism from the enemies, stressing, “The Iranian nation makes an opportunity out of every threat.”

Rahimi also reminded those behind the assassination of top Iranian commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani that the flag of the fight against terrorism will continue to be raised by the late commander’s followers.

“There will be no place in the region for their (enemies’) terrorist acts,” the envoy noted.

In an event on the sidelines of the opening of the 13th International Tourism Exhibition and the 33rd National Handicrafts Exhibition of Iran, held in Tehran on Wednesday, Ali-Asghar Mounesan unveiled the national tourism brand, among other things, including the Tourist City plan, and the tablets certifying the inscription of the cities of Zanjan, Shiraz, and Malayer as well as Qassemabad village in the Gilan Province on the world list of cities and villages with handicrafts.

The ceremony was held at the Persian Gulf hall of Tehran International Exhibition Centre.

Iran’s national tourism brand has been unveiled considering the significance of the tourism industry’s potential in Iran and the formulation of the country’s document on the promotion of tourism, and is expected to contribute to the growth and development of the tourism industry in Iran.

Minister of Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicrafts Ali-Asghar Mounesan, his deputy Vali Teimuri, and the governors of provinces of Qazvin and Kermanshah stood on the stage in order to unveil the national tourism brand, the Tourist City plan, and the tablets certifying the inscription of Zanjan (the world city of Malile), inscription of Shiraz (the world city of handicrafts), inscription of Malayer (the world city of furniture decorated with inlaid woodwork), and inscription of Qassemabad village in the Gilan Province (the world village of Chador-Shab weaving) on the global list of cities and villages with handicrafts.

Apart from the tablets, the plans and the brand relating to the tourism industry, a number of other things were also unveiled in the ceremony, such as a three-layered full crystal dish, the logo of the national tourism brand, and the strategic document on tourism industry which has been already ratified.

The 12th Iranian administration has given special attention to the ecotourism projects, as the number of ecotourism inns has increased from 400 to 1,700.

The ecotourism plans in Iran have reversed a trend in rural exodus in many villages, in a way that even the urban residents have begun to migrate from the cities to villages.

Iran’s Beauties in Photos: Wall Paintings in Chabahar

Iranian Artists Painting the Urban Space

Chabahar port city is located in the south-eastern Sistan and Baluchestan province by the coast of Oman Sea and the Indian Ocean. Its name has been derived from the term “Chahar-Bahar”, meaning “four springs” in Persian, which refers to the city’s temperate climate during the year’s different seasons.

Chabahar is one of the most thriving, prominent Iranian ports for being the closest route from Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan to the international waters.

The port city’s importance, however, isn’t limited to its commercial position: it is home to many tourist destinations. Among the most beautiful attractions of Chabahar are the Portuguese Castle, the Mud Volcano, the miniature “Martian” Mountains, and Lipar Wetland.

A while ago, a family painting contest titled “Draw for the Earth” was held in Chabahar with the theme of environmental protection.

What follows are Honar Online Agency’s photos of wall paintings in the Iranian port city:

Azerbaijan President to Visit Iran in Coming Days

The two countries have enjoyed relatively thriving ties in recent years, in spite of some disputes over issues such as Azerbaijan’s recognition of Jerusalem al-Quds as the capital of the Zionist regime.

Tehran-Baku trade turnover has amounted to $500 million in 2019, showing an 11 per cent year-on-year rise, said Deputy Prime Minister of Azerbaijan Shahin Mustafayev on February 11.

President Aliyev had travelled to Iran in November 2017 to hold meetings with the presidents of Iran and Russia.

Iran Vows Appropriate Response to US Interception of Mahan Air Flight

In a statement on Wednesday, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi dismissed the claims and threats from an official of the Zionist regime against Iran, stressing, “The Islamic Republic of Iran will show a crushing and regrettable response to any act of aggression or stupid measure from that regime (Israel) against our country’s interests in Syria and the region.”

He also highlighted the terrorist and occupying nature of the Zionist regime, adding, “The foundation and nature of this regime has been based upon the occupation of the Palestinian territory and the neighbouring states, upon carnage, plundering the assets (of other nations), terror and aggression over the past 70 years.”

“The Islamic Republic of Iran has been present in Syria at the invitation and with the agreement of that country’s (Syria’s) government with the purpose of fighting against terrorism sponsored by the US and Israel, and our country will not hesitate for a moment over safeguarding its presence in Syria and defending its national security and regional interests, and will give a decisive and crushing response to any act of aggression or stupid move,” the spokesperson underlined.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will also prosecute the Quds-occupying regime (Israel) for its threats and warmongering comments at the international circles,” Mousavi concluded.

His comments came after the Zionist regime’s defense minister, Naftali Bennett, said his regime has taken responsibility for countering the Islamic Republic in Syria.

Speaking at a campaign event on Saturday, Bennett said Tel Aviv and Washington have agreed to work in tandem to block what he called Tehran’s efforts to create a corridor for transferring men and materiel through Iraq and Syria to Lebanon and the Mediterranean Sea.

Nuclear Chiefs of Iran, France Meet in Austria

Pointing to Iran’s expectation from the French after the 2015 nuclear deal and the atomic collaborations between the two countries, Salehi described the beginning of the process of implementation of the deal as “successful”, yet voiced dissatisfaction of Iran with France’s failure to pay enough attention to the collaborations, including in the field of nuclear fusion.

Salehi stressed that “in case the current trend goes on, neither of the parties to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) can expect satisfaction with the deal,” describing Iran’s rolling back from its commitment under the deal as “aimed at maintaining the deal and striking a balance in it.”

He said the IAEA confirmed in its 16 successive reports Iran’s commitment to its obligations under the JCPOA, but Iran’s minimum expectations were not met. “Public opinion in Iran is seriously dissatisfied and demands reciprocal action.”

The French official, in turn, voiced his country’s regret over the US withdrawal from JCPOA and concern over Iran’s rolling-back steps, saying that France continues to support JCPOA “as it did in the past.”
