Azizollah Ramezani, the director for international affairs of the NIGC, made the remarks in an interview with Shana.

He mentioned the Iran-Oman undersea gas pipeline as another item included in the NIGC-KOGAS cooperation document.

The MoU signed between NIGC and KOGAS involves also other areas for cooperation including mini-liquefied natural gas (LNG), LNG and compressed natural gas (CNG) plants as well as Research and Development (R&D), the official added.

He said that there are good grounds for cooperation between NIGC and KOGAS for optimizing energy efficiency in gas pressure amplifying stations and refineries, as well as in other NIGC facilities.

Ramezani added that the signed MoU between Iranian and Korean gas companies prepared the ground for the formation of joint task forces as precondition to boost cooperation in new areas in the future.

The MoU between NIGC and KOGAS shall be effective for a period of one year and could be extended, he noted.

 

The Managing Director of NIGC, Hamidreza Araqi, and the President of KOGAS Seung-Hoon Lee signed a Memorandum of Understanding for boost of bilateral cooperation on Sunday.

Speaking at a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif in Tehran on Sunday May 1, Octavino Alimudin hailed the close relations between the two Asian countries and their cultural and historical common ground, and stressed the need to further expand the ties.

“In our mission, we are seeking to develop relations in all spheres and increase reciprocal visits by high-ranking delegations,” he noted.

During the meeting, the Indonesian diplomat also submitted a copy of his credentials to the Iranian foreign minister.

Earlier in March, Zarif paid an official visit to Jakarta as the first destination of his tour of Southeast Asia and Oceania, which took him later to Singapore, Brunei, Thailand, New Zealand, and Australia.

During his visit to Indonesia, the Iranian top diplomat held separate meetings with senior officials of the East Asian country, including President Joko Widodo, on the sidelines of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) Summit.

During the meeting, the two sides talked about the growing ties between Tehran and Jakarta as well as regional issues.

TV Show Guest Saves Child’s Life Backstage

On Thursday, April 28, members of Elixir’s production team were filming the show’s seventh episode in a studio near Tehran’s Sorkheh Hessar Park.

However, the scream of a mother, whose 3-year-old child had seemingly drowned in a fountain outside the studio, alerted those filming inside, and delayed the recording of the episode.

Fortunately, the TV show’s guest Massoud Saberi, a prominent brain surgeon, was there to help the child. Without any hesitation, he resuscitated the child, saving its life.

An ambulance was called which transferred the child to hospital, who has recovered and is in a stable condition.

Farzad Hassani, the popular TV host of the program, is going to talk about the incident in his interview with the surgeon in this week’s episode. A video including the rescue of the child will be aired this Thursday.

Iran Urges Calm and Negotiations between Iraqi Political Sides

Jaberi-Ansari

Speaking to reporters at his weekly news conference, Hossein Jaberi Ansari said Iran urges all Iraqi sides to reach a political understanding through negotiation.

Respecting law and maintaining the political achievements of the past two decades can guarantee stability, and help with the continuation of development and national unity, said Jaberi Ansari.

He hoped that the groundwork would be laid to fight against terrorism and corruption in Iraq, referring these as two very important questions for the country.

Serious talks among all Iraqi groups and sides are needed to combat those problems, he said, expressing Iran’s readiness to use all its abilities in order to pave the way for Iraqi talks.

Committee Considering Ways to Reclaim Iran’s Assets Seized by US

Speaking at a weekly press conference in Tehran, Hossein Jaberi Ansari said the committee, led by Minister of Economic Affairs and Finance Ali Tayyebnia, will submit reports to the officials.

He also noted that the committee has reached a conclusion on a series of legal and political actions to restore the rights of the Iranian nation.

Slamming the US move as unlawful, the spokesman underlined that Washington is held accountable for “international robbery”.

Earlier in April, the US Supreme Court upheld the Congress and President’s actions to hold Iran financially responsible for the 1983 bombing that killed 241 Marines at their barracks in the Lebanese capital, Beirut.

The ruling allows the families of the Marines and victims of other attacks that courts have linked to Iran to seize some $2 billion in assets held in New York’s Citibank, belonging to the Central Bank of Iran (CBI), which has been blocked under US sanctions.

While the US measure has drawn widespread condemnation from Iran, Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi said last week that the Iranian committee is also tasked with preventing similar future cases of seizures of the country’s assets.

“There are ways to get that money back,” he explained, blaming the previous administration’s imprudence for the seizure.

President Hassan Rouhani has also described the move as “a blatant robbery”, saying his administration will spare no effort to get the money back.

Meanwhile, Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has sent a letter to the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-moon, stressing that Tehran will take whatever action necessary for reimbursement.

Tehran as Seen from the International Space Station

[IFP: Last week, we brought you photos of Tehran from the air. Now, we take you even further out, with a photo of the capital from space. We can see the city lit up at night, with many major thoroughfares and sites clearly visible. The photo was taken from the International Space Station (ISS), with text below from Press TV.]

 

A new photo taken from the International Space Station (ISS) shows the Iranian capital Tehran at night, glowing with lights and beauty.

Firouz Naderi, an Iranian scientist and the former director for Solar System Exploration at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), posted the photo on his Facebook account on Saturday, saying that it had been taken by American astronaut Tim Kopra, the current commander of the station, on Thursday.

“The pink big oval at the bottom apparently is Park Velayat in south of Tehran. It used to be a big military garrison,” Naderi further commented on a feature of the photo.

The ISS is revolving around the Earth on an orbit with an altitude of between 330 and 435 kilometers (205 and 270 miles). It completes 15.54 orbits per day.

Iran and Ivory Coast Discuss Medical and Health Ties

The meeting was held between the Director-General of the Iranian Health Ministry for International Affairs Mohsen, Assadi Lari, and Ivorian Foreign Minister Albert Mabri.

Assadi Lari, for his part, stressed the necessity for the enhancement of the two countries’ cooperation in medical fields, and announced Tehran’s preparedness to share its experiences with Ivory Coast in treatment and health sectors.

Mabri lauded Iran’s progress in medicine and treatment, and called for using Iran’s capacities to develop the pharmaceutical and medical equipment sectors in his country.

After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979, the Iranian governments have prioritized expansion of ties with African countries.

Iran is an observing member of the African Union and has shown an active presence in previous AU summit meetings.

The country is considered as one of the AU’s strategic partners along with India, Japan, China, several South American states and Turkey, while Tehran is also believed to be prioritizing promotion of its economic and political ties with African states.

In a meeting in Abidjan in March, Iran and Ivory Coast’s officials underlined the need for further expansion of mutual cooperation between the two countries.

During the meeting in Ivory Coast’s capital city, the Director-General of Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Department for African Affairs, Hossein Molla Abdollahi and Mabri explored avenues for bolstering and reinvigorating bilateral ties.

The two sides also discussed regional developments and regional crises.

Ireland Plans to Re-Establish Embassy in Tehran

According to The Irish Times, Minister for Foreign Affairs Charlie Flanagan said plans to re-establish an Irish embassy in Tehran are likely to be put before the next government, as an Enterprise Ireland delegation prepares to visit Iran later this month to scope out potential areas of mutual interest in healthcare, financial services and technology.

“I am very conscious of the political, economic and trade factors in favour of opening of a resident diplomatic mission in Iran, with the primary aim of assisting Irish companies who wish to avail of the new trade opportunities now opening up there,” Flanagan told the Irish news agency.

Ireland had an embassy in Tehran until 2011, but it was closed as part of wider reduction in diplomatic missions prompted by the financial crisis. The volume of trade between the two countries amounted to just under €4 billion last year.

Following the implementation of the Iran nuclear deal and the subsequent lifting of more than three decades of sanctions against the country, European companies, especially from France and Italy, have been in competition to sign major trade deals with Iran.
