In a meeting with the Speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly Laszlo Kover in Tehran on Sunday, Zarif stressed the importance of showing initiative on regional and international affairs.

He further expressed Iran’s keenness to develop cooperation with the member states of the European Union, including Hungary, and stressed the importance of Budapest pursuing a balanced policy on regional and international issues.

The top Iranian diplomat further noted that Tehran and Budapest enjoy growing relations in various fields and called for banking transaction and visa facilitation in an effort to further strengthen cooperation.

 

Nothing Should Stop JCPOA Implementation: Kover

The speaker of the Hungarian National Assembly, for his part, said his country believes that the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries in July 2015, is beneficial to all states and nothing must hinder its implementation.

As the Islamic Republic has remained committed to the nuclear deal, other sides must also fulfill their obligations under the JCPOA, he added.

Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China – plus Germany started implementing the JCPOA on January 16.

Under the nuclear deal, Iran undertook to put limitations on its nuclear program in exchange for the removal of nuclear-related bans imposed against Tehran.

Kover also invited the Iranian foreign minister to pay a visit to Budapest and said his country regards Iran as a strategic partner and seeks to boost mutual ties.

The top Hungarian parliamentarian arrived in Tehran on Wednesday at the head of a high-ranking politico-economic delegation and held talks with senior Iranian officials including President Hassan Rouhani and Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani.

Valentina Ivanovna Matvienko

Matvienko set off for Tehran on Sunday for an official two-day visit and plans to meet with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani and Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif.

The chairman of Russian Federation Council’s defense and security committee, Viktor Ozerov, and a number of parliamentary officials and members of the council are accompanying Matvienko in her trip.

Speaking to IRNA in Moscow ahead of her departure, the top Russian parliamentarian said she would bring up a variety of issues in the talks with Iranian officials, including ways to improve parliamentary cooperation and reinforce convergence in the Middle East to fight terrorism in Syria.

She added that the two countries’ presidents have at many times stressed the importance of bolstering cooperation and noted that Tehran and Moscow have taken positive steps and made great achievements in this regard.

In a meeting in the Azeri capital of Baku on August 8, Rouhani and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin called for accelerating the development of bilateral relations in all fields.

Back in July 9, 2015, the two presidents also held a meeting in Ufa, Russia, and exchanged views on ways to broaden bilateral cooperation in the fields of military technology and nuclear power.

Matvienko’s visit to Tehran comes after the Russian president traveled to Iran on November 23, 2015 and held separate meetings with Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei and President Rouhani. Putin also participated in the third summit of the Gas Exporting Countries Forum (GECF) in Tehran.

“I only knew Iran through the image the government presents in the media,” said Magali Magnim, a 33-year-old video technician from Lyon, France.

According to a report covered by Resalat newspaper, she and two friends were in Isfahan, one of Iran’s most historic cities, as part of a three-week tour. “But everything is so different from what I expected.”

What surprised her was that it felt safe. “Here on the streets, I feel more safe here than in France,” Ms. Magnim said. “I feel everybody I meet can be trusted.”

During a visit to the central train station at the provincial capital of Ahwaz, President Rouhani launched a modern train control and monitoring system.

The new system, which cost $80 million to develop, will improve the security of railroad transportation between Ahwaz and Tehran.

In a separate ceremony, the president inaugurated a project for development of Yadavaran oil field in the energy-rich province.

According to reports, Iran’s oil extraction from Yadavaran -in cooperation with China’s Sinopec- has reached the record high of 115,000 barrels a day.

Separately, the president launched a project through video conference on development of a number of oil fields located in the western banks of the Karun River.

Expansion of the northern and southern Azadegan oil fields, as well as Yadavaran and north Yadavaran fields, are expected to raise Iran’s crude output by 300,000 bpd.

The last project inaugurated by President Rouhani on Sunday was one to channel fresh water to Dasht-e Azadegan in Khuzestan Province. The project will supply drinking water to residents of 7 towns and 50 villages in the region.

The province of Khuzestan, neighboring Iraq and lying on the Persian Gulf coasts, is a major oil and gas producing region in Iran.

Iran Expects Six-Fold Rise in Foreign Investments

Foreign investments in Iran for each Persian calendar year (starting 21 March) stood at about $2 billion, Feriyal Mostofi said.

He added that once contracts between Iranian and foreign firms are finalized, the Islamic Republic will attract $10 billion to $12 billion of foreign investments, according to Press TV.

Based on figures released by the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Iran attracted $2.05 billion and $2.10 billion in 2015 and 2014.

Iran had been off limits to global investors as a result of anti-Tehran sanctions that banned major investments in the country, specifically in its oil and gas industries that provide the lifeline of its national revenues.

The sanctions were removed after Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany) on July 14, 2015 finalized a lasting nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and started implementing it on January 16, 2016.

Parliament OK’s Iran’s Accession to Paris Climate Agreement

paris-climate-agreement

According to a report by ISNA, as translated by IFP, 149 Iranian MPs voted in favour of Iran’s accession to Paris Agreement.

Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif had signed the historic Paris Agreement on climate change during a ceremony at the United Nations headquarters in New York back in April.

The agreement, reached in Paris in December 2015, can now require countries to fulfil the promises they made to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

China and the US, which together account for 38 percent of global emissions, had pledged to formally adopt the deal by the end of the year.

However, it is reported that the US President-elect Donald Trump is seeking quick ways of withdrawing from the Paris climate agreement in defiance of widening international backing for the plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions.

Reuters has reported that since Trump was chosen, governments ranging from China to small island states have reaffirmed support for the 2015 Paris agreement at 200-nation climate talks running until 18 November in Marrakesh, Morocco.

But, according to Reuters, a source in the Trump transition team said the victorious Republican, who has called global warming a hoax, was considering ways to bypass a theoretical four-year procedure for leaving the accord.

“It was reckless for the Paris agreement to enter into force before the election,” said the source, who works on Trump’s transition team for international energy and climate policy, speaking on condition of anonymity. The Paris agreement went into force on 4 November, four days before last Tuesday’s election.

The Paris deal, agreed by 195 countries plus the European Union, sets the objective of curbing global warming to “well below” two degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above pre-industrial levels, by moving to clean energy.

The first quarter of the current year broke temperature records, and the last year was the hottest year since record-keeping began in the 19th century.

The UN’s former climate agreement, the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, came into force in 2005. It dictated cuts in greenhouse gas emissions only for developed countries, unlike the Paris Agreement that involves both developed and developing countries, and allows all states to set national targets.
