FM terms Persian Gulf islands as inseparable part of Iran

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Nasser Kanaani describes three Iranian islands of Abu Musa, the Greater Tunb, and the Lesser Tunb as inseparable parts of the Islamic Republic’s soil.

In reaction to the statement issued at the 156th meeting of the Foreign Ministers of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council (PGCC), Kanaani reiterated the regional strategy and principled policy of the Islamic Republic on boosting and deepening of ties with the countries of the PGCC and the development of the principle of neighborliness.

He expressed hope that the regional states would set up new frameworks for cooperation in the region by adopting prudent views and refraining from the same old remarks.

The official called the regional developments in recent months promising and within the framework of the interests of all the countries in the region.

Regional states have a collective responsibility in promoting the interests of the region, he said, adding that Iran has always supported the dialogue and cooperation of the Persian Gulf countries as regional partners.

Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman termed the issues related to Iran's nuclear program as baseless.

In cooperation with relevant countries and the International Atomic Energy Agency, the Islamic Republic of Iran continues its peaceful nuclear program based on its rights in accordance with the Non-Proliferation Treaty and the Comprehensive Safeguards Agreements (CSA), Kanaani underlined.

He voiced Iran’s serious determination in achieving a stable, safe and prosperous regional through the cooperation of neighboring and brotherly counties of the PGCC.
