Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister Ali Bagheri Kani has described the Palestinian issue as the key to establishment of stability and security in the Middle East, stating that any initiative that overlooks the rights of the Palestinian nation causes instability and disrupts the security of the region.
Faraan: Bagheri Kani made the remarks during a meeting with Qatar’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Regional Affairs Mohammed bin Abdulaziz al-Khulaifi and the accompanying delegation in Tehran on Saturday night. The Iranian diplomat termed attention to the Palestinian issue a humanitarian and Islamic duty for all regional countries, emphasizing that the stability of the region depends on full restoration of Palestinians’ rights.
Bagheri Kani went on to point to efforts being made by the United States and the Tel Aviv regime to wipe Palestine from the political geography of the region and the world. “Palestine is the key to regional stability and security. Therefore, any initiative that ignores the rights of the Palestinian nation is a source of instability and disturbs the regional security,” he highlighted. The Iranian deputy foreign minister also praised the successful neighborhood policy of Iran’s incumbent administration, stating that Tehran seeks to further promote multilateral and regional cooperation in the next phase.
Bagheri Kani lauded the enhancement of Tehran-Doha bilateral relations, saying, “We welcome Qatar’s effective role in advancing the second phase of Iran’s neighborhood policy and promoting multilateral regional cooperation.” For his part, Khulaifi pointed to the historical commonalities between Qatar and Iran and hailed the growing bilateral relations between the two Muslim countries in all spheres. The Qatari diplomat underlined that meetings and consultations between diplomats from the two countries will provide the basis for further expansion of such ties.
