Iran should hold talks with all the members of 5+1 one by one, Principlist candidate Ali Akbar Velayati said on June 3.

Velyati also said that the next administration must reform the country's foreign policy before anything else, ISNA news agency reported.

He argued that this can only be achieved if the next president has extensive experience in international relations.

The senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution said the country has faced some issues in its foreign policy in recent years.

He said the next president must reform or adjust foreign policy, but, in order for this to succeed, he should know the world and the world also should know him as a politician.

According to him, those who believe in the rule of jurisprudence and the Iranian Constitution have a place in his future administration if he wins the June 14th vote.

He said an all-inclusive administration could win greater public trust.

Velayati on June 2 promised free healthcare, if he becomes Iran's next president.

Speaking to a group of university students and scholars in Tehran, the presidential candidate said that if ratified by the parliament, people will initially have to pay for about thirty percent of their healthcare expenses, while the services will be provided completely free of charge in the long run, IRIB news agency reported.

The senior advisor to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution referred to the important contribution of rural areas to domestic production, adding that free healthcare coverage should start form those areas.

Velayati is a member of the principlist Coalition of Three, along with Tehran Mayor Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf and MP Gholam Ali Haddad-Adel.

Iran will hold the 11th presidential election on June 14.

The voters will select the successor of the current President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is not able to participate in the elections for the third term according to the country's constitutional laws.

The president of Iran is elected for a four-year term in a national election and the Guardian Council vets the candidates for qualifications.
