Tehran, Jakarta Discuss Promotion of Reciprocal Ties

The seventh meeting of Iran-Indonesia joint political-consultative committee was held in Tehran on Monday.

Present at the event were deputy ministers from both countries who discussed a whole range of bilateral and international issues and highlighted the need to upgrade Tehran-Jakarta political and economic relations.

Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia and Pacific Affairs Ebrahim Rahimpour delivered the opening speech at the meeting. He said Iran attaches great importance to promotion of cooperation with Southeast Asian countries, especially Indonesia as a friendly and Muslim nation, which enjoys a special status in the Muslim world. He said Iran is fully prepared to enhance its relations with Indonesia on all fronts.

During the meeting, Indonesia’s Director General for Asia-Pacific Affairs Desra Percaya, who was heading the Indonesian delegation, welcomed proposals put forward by the Iranian side, and said his country would like to take over a project to develop two oil fields in Iran. He also stressed the need to forge closer cooperation between the two sides.

It is noteworthy that the sixth meeting of the political-consultative committee of the two countries had been held in Jakarta last year.

Later on Monday, Percaya also met Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Morteza Sarmadi. During the meeting, the two sides highlighted the need to boost mutual economic and trade relations in addition to the good political ties the two countries maintain.

Sarmadi touched upon the common ground as well as the numerous areas of cooperation between the two sides and expressed satisfaction over the growing trend of Tehran-Jakarta ties over the past 3 years.

He said the volume of bilateral trade is not proportionate to the numerous potentialities that exist for cooperation between the two sides, and added the two countries should tap into all their potential in order to upgrade the level of mutual trade and commercial cooperation and expand reciprocal ties in all areas.

Sarmadi referred to the challenges which exist in the Muslim world, the Middle East and East Asia, and underscored the necessity of interaction and consultation between, and joint action by the two great Muslim countries in order to help establish peace and tranquillity in the above-mentioned regions.

Percaya, in turn, thanked Iran for its presence in the Indian Ocean Rim Association during the time when Indonesia held its presidency, and expressed gratitude to Iran for supporting Indonesia’s candidacy for membership in international circles, especially the country’s non-permanent membership in the UN Security Council.

Shokreieh was also chosen as the top Iranian researcher in Mechanical Engineering in 2015.

Shokrieh was also announced as ‘prominent Iranian professor’ by the Mechanical Engineers’ Association back in 2014.

Iranian Kurdish MPs Condemn Iraqi Kurdistan’s Referendum

Kurdistan-Iraq

Kurdish lawmakers at the Iranian parliament, in a statement, condemned the Monday referendum on the independence of the Iraqi Kurdistan region.

Parts of the Farsi statement published by ICANA are as follows:

Abidance by all countries to their territorial integrity is one of the principal and generally-accepted international regulations, and it is natural that no country will allow its territorial integrity to be violated, and its territory to be seized by others or renamed.

A referendum, as a democratic tool, will be meaningful only when held among all citizens of a country, and part of a country cannot hold a plebiscite locally.

In Iraq, recently a movement backed by Israel is seeking to hold an ethnic plebiscite on the independence of part of Iraq. The Iraqi parliament has rejected that vote, and the issue has been referred to judicial officials, and the parliament, as the highest decision-making body in the country, has condemned the referendum. However, Israel is trying to cash in on the sentiments of the Kurdish people in Iraq in a bid to gain a foothold in that region and pursue its evil objectives of sowing discord, downsizing countries and disrupt stability and security in the region.

The referendum jeopardizes the interests of Iraqi Kurds as well as the stability of the countries in the region. So, the stance of us, the Kurdish legislators at the Iranian parliament, is exactly the same as the one adopted by the Iranian government (opposition to the referendum).

An ethnic, religious and regional referendum runs counter to international regulations as well as the interests of Iraqi people, especially Kurds. It is against regional stability and security. It is an illegal and illogical move, and it is condemned.

We expect relevant international institutions and Iraqi authorities as well as regional countries not to allow the move to serve the interests of Israel and trigger instability and insecurity in the region.

The Kurdish elites are also expected to prudently raise Kurdish people’s awareness of this wicked scheme and not to allow Iraqi Kurds’ interests to be compromised by those of enemies.

Myanmar’s Football Federation says Kordi has to meet three conditions if he wants to resign and nullify his contract with the federation.

“If the conditions are not met, we will file a complaint with FIFA against Kordi,” the federation announced.

The first condition says Kordi must rewrite his resignation letter saying his decision to resign has nothing to do with the massacre of Muslims in Myanmar.

According to the second condition, Kordi needs to do an interview saying that the massacre of Muslims in Myanmar is a tribal conflict and the government of Myanmar has no role in the massacre.

And the third condition goes on saying Kordi should renounce his demands mentioned in the contract.

“I only accept the third condition. They first asked me to return to Myanmar but I sent an email saying I want my contract nullified. Based on the latest talks we had together, they set their conditions but I refused to accept them. Now, they have threatened they will sue me at FIFA,” Kordi said.

He went on saying the Football Federation of Myanmar is outraged with the extensive media coverage of his resignation in protest against Muslims massacre. “Some sources say even during a cabinet meeting, my case has been raised and discussed,” he noted.

The agreement was signed by the Head of Iran’s Farabi Cinema Foundation, Ali Reza Tabesh, and Head of Armenia’s National Cinema Center, Shushanik Mirzakhanian, for a renewable three-year term with the aim of exchanging technical facilities and launching joint cinema projects.

Based on the agreement signed in Yerevan, Iran and Armenia are set to expand their cultural cooperation particularly in the field of cinema within cultural and historical commonalities between the two countries, a Farsi report by Nasim Online said.

In addition to providing an appropriate ground for launching cinema projects, the agreement is also set to serve as a platform to establish long-time relations between Farabi Foundation and Armenia’s National Cinema Center in conducting research, holding festivals, exchanging technological facilities, distributing and screening Iranian and Armenian films, and training human resources.

During the meeting between Tabesh and Mirzakhanian, the two sides exchanged views on a number of issues.

Screening of movies in Iran and Armenia, exchanging screenplays for movie productions, developing plans for increasing joint productions, expanding bilateral cooperation in holding children’s film festivals, inviting special guests especially children and teenagers as jury members of children’s film festivals, establishing close cooperation in mainstream festivals and film markets of the two countries  through suggesting appropriate films to each other, and  introducing technical equipment companies were among the key topics discussed by the two sides.

They also conferred on offering post-production and laboratory services to Armenians working in Iran, distributing the two sides’ movies through home video, internet and in-flights, remaining committed to observe all legal rights of movies and other cultural goods from both sides and establishing technical cooperation in new cinematic equipment.

In a separate meeting, Tabesh and Mirzakhanian sat for talks to explore ways to promote ties between Iranian and Armenian cinema professionals. The two sides also agreed to set up a number of committees to follow up the issues.

Tabesh visited Yerevan at the invitation of the country’s National Cinema Center.

On Monday, he held talks with Armenia’s Culture Minister, Armen Amirian. The meeting was also attended by Iran’s ambassador to Armenia, Kamal Sajjadi.

Fighting Drugs Needs Int’l Cooperation, Global Consensus: Iran

Fighting Drugs Needs Int’l Cooperation, Global Consensus: Iran

Iranian parliamentarian Shakour Pourhossein has, in a Farsi interview with ICANA, said, “Fighting illicit drugs requires regional and international cooperation as well as a global consensus.”

He said the war on drugs by the international community has been a failure and this comes as different countries have lost many of their youths to drug addiction over the years.

Pourhossein, who sits on the parliament’s Social Commission, said the average rate of drug addiction in the Iranian labourers’ community reportedly stands at 21 to 22 percent, and such figure is worrying.

“This (addiction) exists not only in Iran, but in other countries. Of course, the reasons behind workers’ drug addiction should be studied, so that its consequences will not grip workers and the country,” said the MP.

He said the government should be serious and have a steely resolve to prevent drugs from being smuggled into the country and should have a stronger supervision on that.

He underlined the need to make use of skilled manpower and state-of-the-art equipment plus perseverance to fight drugs.

 

Narcotics Smuggled into Iran via Mafia

He further criticized the smuggling of narcotics into the country by special drugs rings.

He noted that illicit drugs are getting into the country through mafia and special drugs rings.

“Entry and exit points in the country should be controlled and a stronger monitoring system should be put in place in order to identify the [drugs] rings. Of course, a comprehensive plan, specialized workforce ad enough budget are also needed to be able to seriously take steps in this path,” he added.

The lawmaker noted that with the allocation of enough funding and time, narco-trafficking rings can easily be identified.

He said Iran has not achieved success in fighting narcotics, either.

“Unfortunately, in this domain (war on drugs) more attention is paid to [dealing with] drug pushers rather than the mafia and special drugs rings, which puts the mafia in a safety margin. This comes as eradication of narcotics in the country needs the domestic mafia and special drugs rings to be identified and seriously dealt with,” he said.

“Of course, there have been secret hands and rake-offs in the smuggling of narcotics into any country, and Iran is no exception. In fact, drug trafficking is a lucrative business in which it won’t be easy to identify secret hands without enough budget and specialized manpower.”

He said all Iranian institutions should join hands to fight narcotics.

Wedding Ceremony of Iranian Acid Victim Goes Viral

Marzieh Ebrahimi, a young Iranian girl who fell victim to an acid attack years ago, has tied the knot. Her marriage has turned into the most high-profile one in the country, not because she is a celebrity or an artist, but because she is the victim of an acid attack.

Back in 2014, Marzieh had an appointment with a dentist and was stuck in traffic in the central Iranian province of Isfahan. She rolled down her car’s window only to see a huge volume of pure acid splashed on her face.

Unfortunately, she lost part of her face and the cornea of an eye in the acid attack. Marzieh had not been heard from for a long time. However, the news of her marriage made headlines in media, particularly in social media.

The news was so impressive that Navid Mohammadzadeh, a renowned Iranian actor who plays the role of an acid-attacker in one of his movies (Lantoori), has posted on his Instagram page about that.

Wedding Ceremony of Iranian Acid Victim Goes ViralThe man who married Marzieh did so without paying attention to her appearance. This beautiful and impressive development can send important messages to young couples.

The top story in all Iranian newspapers today was the Monday referendum on the Iraqi Kurdistan’s independence. The referendum is being held despite international and regional opposition and warnings by its neighbours. Newspapers widely covered the move by Iran and Turkey to close their airspaces to the Iraqi Kurdistan at Baghdad’s request.

The remarks made by Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in an interview with CNN about the nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers also received great coverage.

Meanwhile, reformist papers covered the speculations about incumbent Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani’s possible bid for presidency in 2021 as a reformist candidate, and quoted reformist figures as saying they have better options for the next presidential votes. The speculations were raised after Larijani, in a ceremony, sat next to reformist leader Seyyed Mohammad Khatami and had informal talks with him.
