Zarif urges multi-faceted relations with other countries
Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Saturday that Iran
is willing to develop comprehensive and multi-faceted relations
with other countries to ensure sustainability of ties, Irna
reported.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of Conference on reviewing
Iran's opportunities in the post-sanctions era, Zarif said that
Iran will never forget those countries that stood by Tehran during
the sanctions.
'We have maintained and boosted ties with Russia and China,' Zarif said in response to a reporter who criticized signing economic contracts with France and Italy.
'We told all Western countries that we do not want to be a new market for your exports, rather we will be a partner for producing export-oriented industrial outputs in the supply cycle and not a mere consumer,' Zarif said.
