‘Muslims should be united in face of enemies’

The chief executive made the remarks on Saturday in a televised interview, during which he addressed the nation for the first time since assuming office late last month.

The president said his administration would try to reduce differences of opinion concerning the components of the country’s foreign policy.

His administration’s foreign policy envisioned resolution of the standing issues between Iran and other countries, including the Islamic Republic’s neighbors, he said, asserting, “Muslims are brothers with one another and should be united in the face of the enemies.”

“We have engaged in negotiations with around 40 countries, and are in the process of concluding agreements with them,” Pezeshkian noted.

The president, meanwhile, pointed to his pending trip to Iraq that would constitute his first state visit to an overseas country, and his expected visit New York, to which he is slated to travel in September to attend the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

In New York, he said, he would try to invite Iranian expatriates to travel to the Islamic Republic and also attempt to attract foreign investment in the country.

The chief executive also detailed his views on domestic issues, economic development and anti-Iran sanctions.

Concluding his remarks, Pezeshkian expressed gratitude towards Ayatollah Khamenei for the support that had been provided by the Leader towards resolution of the country’s economic issues and thanked the Iranian nation for the trust that they had invested in him.
