"We have priorities in foreign policy. One of our priorities is our neighbors. We are one of the countries with many neighbors. This is one of the privileges of a country. There are about 14 neighbors around us, which is a privilege. We must cooperate with our neighbors", said the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

Iran Press/ Iran News: Speaking in the endorsement ceremony of the decree for President Masoud Pezeshkian," the Leader added: "One of the country's priorities is communication with countries that can expand our diplomatic field, for example, African and Asian countries."

 "One of our other priorities is the relationship with the countries that supported us in the face of pressure in these years, whether they helped us in the United Nations, outside the United Nations or in the field of action. The countries that supported us with economic cooperation, should be appreciated and should strengthen our relations with them, this is a priority in our policy," Ayatollah Khamenei highlighted.

"We are not against some countries, for example, Europeans. I did not mention them in the priorities, but we have no enmity with them, the reason is that they did not treat us well, in their oil policy, using fake names [for our geographic places], and mistreated us for human rights. They are among the priorities if they do not have this bad behavior. They are also among the cases in which communication with them is a priority for us, of course, there are several countries where we do not forget their hostile behavior."
