Why it matters:
Expanding Iran’s relations with African countries can help strengthen Iran’s economic and political position globally and create new opportunities for trade, economic and cultural cooperation.
The big picture:
Over the past few years, Iran has sought to strengthen its relations with various countries, particularly in Africa. Diplomatic visits and numerous meetings with African ambassadors reflect Iran's serious commitment to establishing sustainable and effective partnerships.
In response to Iran Press, Baghaei announced Iran’s priorities for strengthening relations with Africa.
Key points:
- Africa, as a continent with high potential, is a priority in Iran’s foreign policies.
- The former [late] president's visit to Africa was a turning point in relations between Iran and the countries of the continent.
- The recent meetings of the First Vice President with African ambassadors indicate Iran's special attention to the capacities of these countries.
Go deeper:
Given global developments and the need for diversification in economic relations, Iran has the opportunity to leverage the potential of the African continent. These relationships will not only benefit Iran, but they can also contribute to the sustainable development of African nations. Identifying and effectively utilizing the resources available on both sides will be crucial for the success of these collaborations.
