Touching upon Vienna Talks on lifting sanctions, Amir Abdollahian termed the negotiation process as positive and reiterated Iran serious determination to reach a good agreement as soon as possible.
Emphasizing lack of trust in the White House rulers, he stressed the need for practical, tangible, and verifiable action by the West and the United States to prove a lasting and credible agreement.
Meanwhile, Guterres appreciated the constructive positions of the Islamic Republic of Iran in supporting the process of peace, ending military strikes, paying attention to humanitarian issues and initiating political talks to resolve issues and problems in Yemen.
He also stressed the need to continue efforts to form an inclusive government consisting of different ethnic groups in Afghanistan, as well as to create suitable conditions for all Afghan citizens, especially women and children, to enjoy human rights and access to education.
He welcomed any progress made in the nuclear talks and lifting sanctions in Vienna, saying that the United Nations had always been committed to achieving a nuclear agreement and international peace.
