Iran Press/ Iran news: Mohammad Javad Zarif visited the Freedom Innovation Factory (Pardis Technology Park’s branch in Tehran) and got a first-hand look at hi-tech startup companies active in the innovation center.
Zarif told reporters on the sideline of the visit that he was delighted to see young people, each of whom can make a huge impact on global markets and expressed hope that the government can remove the barriers that US irrational and cruel sanctions have created for these youth to be more active on the international scene, Iran Press reported.
Commenting on the Foreign Ministry's help in lifting sanctions of Apple and Google on Iran, the top diplomat noted that the Communications Ministry is pursuing this directly. "We also help. The duty of the Foreign Ministry is to make US sanctions illegal in the world."
"The power of the US market and the need of different companies to the US market is significant, but that doesn't mean the United States can continue to do so in a permanent way", he said.
"Now we see that many countries have decided to distance themselves from the US dollar as much as possible, which is an important development. The work that is currently being done in the country makes us say we have a prosperous future," Zarif said.
He also said about his own statements in an interview with Yemen's Al-Masira television channel that he was ready to travel to Riyadh to settle disputes with Saudi Arabia and reiterated that nothing special has happened. "We were always ready to travel to neighbouring countries."
