Mohammad Javad Zarif

In a statement on Saturday, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said, “Dr. Zarif will leave for Munich tonight, and according to schedule, he will deliver a speech and elaborate on our country’s viewpoints on the most important issues pertaining to regional and international security at the Munich security conference tomorrow, Sunday.”

“I addition to delivering a speech at the conference, the Iranian foreign minister will meet and hold talks with some officials of foreign countries attending the conference,” said the spokesman.

Zarif is currently accompanying Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in his first-ever official trip to India, and will leave New Delhi for Germany later tonight.

The Munich Security Conference is an annual conference on international security policy that has taken place since 1963. It is the world’s largest gathering of its kind.

Over the past four decades the Munich Security Conference has become the most important independent forum for the exchange of views by international security policy decision-makers. Each year it brings together about 350 senior figures from more than 70 countries around the world to engage in an intensive debate on current and future security challenges.

“Jahleh” is a kind of jar which was used in the past to keep water in. “Kander” was also a lever made of wood to hold water containers and carry them.

The festival is held with the aim of protecting the water resources of Hormozgan province and reviving the regional customs.

Iranian President Officially Welcomed in New Delhi

Winding up his two-day Hyderabad visit, Rouhani arrived in the Indian capital late Friday night and was accorded a ceremonial reception. The ceremonial welcome was held at the Rashtrapati Bhavan with the presence of the country’s President Ram Nath Kovind and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

According to a Farsi report by IRIB News Agency, the ceremony was followed by the wreath laying at the memorial of the late spiritual leader of India, Mahatma Gandhi.

On Saturday, Rouhani and Modi will discuss international issues as well as expanding the political and economic relations between the two countries.

Signing Memoranda of Understanding in various sectors including trade and commerce, purchasing locomotives, healthcare and medicine, traditional medicine, agriculture, the post, transportation, consular affairs and extradition of criminals, women and children affairs are among the topics that the sides would talk about.

After signing of the documents, the Prime Minister of India and the Iranian President will take part in a press conference.

Ministers of foreign affairs, roads and urban development, industry, mine and trade, oil and the economic affairs and finance, as well as about thirty businessmen and industrialists from private sector accompany Hassan Rouhani on this trip.

President Rouhani will also deliver a speech at the Observer Research Foundation later in the day.

The India-Iran Business Summit will be held with the participation of Iran’s economic affairs and finance minister and a group of Indian and Iranian merchants and industrialists with the aim of looking into the ways to boost trade and economic relations between the two countries.

According to IRIB, the volume of trade between India and Iran is more than $9 billion a year, and the two sides are trying to increase this volume.

Banking problems, development of the Chabahar port, and India’s investment process in Chabahar and rail cooperation are the most important issues that Rouhani would discuss with Indian officials. Ha

A major geopolitical decision is that Indians can invest in Iranian infrastructure and connectivity projects in rupees, making Iran the only country apart from Bhutan and Nepal enjoying this. This helps Iran bypass sanctions and boost ties with India.

On a three-day visit to India at the invitation of Modi, Rouhani addressed Muslim leaders and scholars in Hyderabad on Thursday night and also visited Qutub Shahi tombs, a historic site.

The visiting dignitary later offered prayers at historic Makkah Masjid in the old city and addressed the congregation. This is the first visit by Rouhani, who is the seventh President of Iran, after taking charge in August 2013.

India and Iran have collaborated on many key projects with the most notable being Chabahar port in southeastern Iran that was inaugurated on December 3, 2017 by Rouhani. The port opens up a new strategic transit route between Iran, India and Afghanistan.

Expansion of Iran-India Ties to Promote Regional Stability, Security: Rouhani

Speaking to reporters upon his arrival at New Delhi airport, Rouhani said this official trip will in fact was made in two cultural, and political-economic parts with its cultural part made in Hyderabad.

“Meetings were held in Hyderabad with Muslim people, as well as with scholars and intellectuals from Iran,” IRIB News Agency quoted Rouhani as saying in a Farsi report.

“There exist many historical works in Hyderabad showing how the cultures of Iran and India are linked together.”

Rouhani also stated that In New Delhi, significant talks will be held with the president and prime minister of India regarding various fields of agriculture, modern technology, banking and transportation. He noted that this will be a major step in the development of relations between the two states.

“We will also hold talks with Indian officials on international and regional issues,” pointed out Rouhani.

Rouhani arrived in India’s Hyderabad on Thursday, starting a three-day visit aimed at discussing key issues with Indian officials.

In Hyderabad, he visited a number of tourist landmarks, including Hyderabad’s Qutub Shahi tombs, the Salar Jung Museum, Golconda Fort as well as Mecca Masjid. He also addressed a Muslim congregation at the Mecca Masjid, after performing his Friday prayers. During his speech, he said the only solution to the problems faced by the Muslim world is unity among Shias, Sunnis.

This was Rouhani’s second visit to Hyderabad and his first as Iran’s president.

In this historic city, Rouhani said Iran is willing to relax visa norms for Indians and share its “abundant oil and natural gas resources” with India for the progress and prosperity of Indians. He also expressed hope that India will reciprocate by simplifying visa rules for Iranians.

India and Iran have collaborated on key projects, most notably the Chabahar port in southeastern Iran that was inaugurated in December. India has been a key purchaser of Iranian oil and gas, and maintained trade ties even as international sanctions were imposed on Iran over its nuclear programme between 2012 and 2016.

New Delhi and Tehran will be hoping to iron out several issues particularly the slow progress on the Chabahar Port, which Iran feels has got stuck due to US pressure on countries and the latest set of sanctions on Iran; something that makes Rouhani’s bilateral talks with Indian officials very important.

Museum of Nations Art in Tehran

The first king of Pahlavi, Reza Shah, ordered the construction of the White Palace in 1932; and the project was completed by 1937.

Many artists and engineers were involved in building the palace. The palace has been built in an area of 2,164 square metres; it is a two-storey building and a basement with a total area of 5,000 square metres. This building has 54 units including ten large ceremonial saloons which were the official reception hall of Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.

At the order of the then queen Farah Pahlavi, the basement of White Palace was turned into a special art museum. After the Islamic Revolution and in 1992 the name was changed to Museum of Nations Art.

A unique collection of art works from all over the world could be found in the museum including those belonging to pre-Islamic civilization, Islamic era, and the African and Indian works of art, next to those coming from the Far East, Malaya, and also contemporary Iran and world.

Rouhani made the remarks after attending the Friday prayers at Makkah Masjid in the city of Hyderabad, the capital of the southern Indian province of Telangana.

Rouhani also censured the US for recognizing Jerusalem al-Quds as the “capital” of Israel, calling on the Muslims to support the Palestinian cause.

He also lashed out at Washington for imposing a ban on travelers from six largely Muslim countries.

Extending the Iranian people’s regards to the Indian nation, the president recalled Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)’s teachings on the need for unity among Muslims and said “all Muslims’ prayers should be along these lines.”

“If part of the Muslim society in the Islamic world today is suffering from a problem, it is because Islam’s teachings and advice are not acted upon and that real Islam is not dominant,” he said.

The Iranian chief executive arrived in India on Thursday on a three-day trip at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He is heading a political and economic delegation, including Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and a number of representatives from the Iranian private sector.

Earlier, Rouhani and other Iranian officials held a meeting with a group of elites, religious clerics and leaders of the Muslim community in Hyderabad, where he warned of Western attempts to sow discord among Muslims by creating Takfiri outfits.

On Saturday, the Iranian president is to meet with Modi, Indian President Ram Nath Kovind, and Foreign Minister Sushma Swaraj, besides taking part in a joint economic gathering.

Regional and international developments as well as bilateral trade ties top the agenda of Rouhani’s talks with Indian authorities.

Iran Rejects “Baseless” Claims about Environmentalist’s Suicide

By
IFP Editorial Staff

“Following intense attacks by foreign media spreading baseless and hostile claims against the Islamic Republic of Iran with regard to suicide committed by Kavous Seyed Emami, Iran’s High Council for Human Rights has released a statement to shed light on the truth about the case,” the Council said in a Friday statement.

The following is the full text of the statement:

In the name of God, the Compassionate the Merciful

Following the suicide committed by Kavous Seyed Emami who was under arrest for espionage charges under the cover of environmental activities, Executive Director of the United Nations Environment Programme Mr. Erik Solheim has stated that “Environmental rights are human rights, and we all have an obligation to protect them. We are closely following these cases in Iran and urge that the work of environment defenders – both in Iran and around the world – be promoted and respected.”

In this regard, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights would like to raise the following points to be considered by Mr. Solheim.

First, the United Nations and its family of affiliated organizations are neither Non-Governmental nor media organizations, but organizations formed by independent countries, thus necessary to respect authority of member states and consider consultations with the respective country and request an official interpretation from a country before publishing any official statement about any country. Unfortunately, this point has not only been ignored, but also turned into a precedent.

Second, the Islamic Republic of Iran, while confirming supports for and development of environmental activities, assertively warns against cover-up abuse of such activities pursuing hostile objectives, particularly military invasion or terrorist activities. The United Nations and its related organizations are expected to strongly warn the United States and other countries who are deliberately taking advantage of “environmental activist” to pursue their covert illegal, hostile and aggressive objectives. In fact, credit of the UN and its family of organizations is the main victim of such abuses.

Third, a wider abuse has been accompanied by unjustifiable negligence of the UN which is providing a cover for terrorist activities under the pretext of “human rights defenders.”

The UN secretary general and his colleagues are certainly aware that in recent years, members to dangerous terrorist organizations such as MKO, PJAK, Komala, Rigi, etc. who have committed numerous crimes against innocent Iranian citizens and have exploded mosques and worshipping places filled by people, have been introduced and supported in official reports by representatives of the UN as supporters of human rights!

Fourth, the insistence on and significance of protection of environment in the Islamic Republic of Iran which roots in Islamic teachings, is evident given the vast budget annually allocated to this area. Iran expects honest supports, free of tendentious infections by dangerous countries and enemies of environment like the US and its subordinates.

It needs no assertion that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s High Council for Human Rights considers it a basic and essential duty of itself to defend the rights of every single citizen, including suspects and convicts and inmates and works closely with judicial authorities to fulfill this responsibility.

Today, the High Council of Human Rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran is the main defender of civil rights and its honest activities has made it the place for every single citizen, whether inside or outside the country, to refer to it for seeking justice.

“US Must Tackle Internal Security Challenges Instead of Foreign Meddling”

Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, Ali Shamkhani, referred to the latest mass shooting in the US which left 17 dead and said the US government is incapable of meeting even the basic needs of its own people.

“Instead of carrying out its main duty to address America’s internal security challenges, the US government meddles in the internal affairs of other countries and supports killing the innocent people in Syria and Yemen,” he was quoted as saying in a Farsi report by the Fars News Agency.

He then referred to the latest accusations leveled by the US and Israel about what they call Tehran’s role in Syria’s shoot-down of an Israeli jet and said the accusations reveal the “US and Israel’s deep hatred as well as fear of the anti-occupation, anti-terror and anti-arrogance power of the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

The Iranian official underlined that the enemies have waged a soft war against Iran through dissemination of false information about Iran’s presence in Syria.

Shamkhani said Iran only provides Syria with military advice at the request of the country’s legal government, adding the enemies’ campaign is aimed at inflicting a blow on the national will of Iranians in fight against terrorism.

Following the shooting down of an Israeli jet by Syrian army last week, Israeli army said Tel Aviv held Iran directly responsible for the crash of its jet. “This is a serious Iranian attack on Israeli territory. Iran is dragging the region into an adventure which it doesn’t know how will end,” the army said in a statement.

Iran has vehemently dismissed the accusations as baseless.
