the presence of mr. dr. araghchi, the honorable minister of foreign affairs, if you are interested in watching this conversation, please join us on khabar network. good night despite the fact that we are on the eve of mr. president's visit to new york and participation in the united nations general assembly meeting , the achievements of the iraq trip are still reported by the media and political circles. we will discuss the achievements of the trip that mr. president made to iraq, mr. doctor . dear mr. khosravi and all

the respected viewers whom we are serving, thank you tonight . before i get into these achievements, your excellency , we published an article in cyberspace after the trip to iraq. we mentioned that the public diplomacy of mr. president was amazing, some aspects you may open this amazing story for us , what happened, maybe this is very interesting well, i expected that in the continuation of the discussion about iraq, we will reach this aspect of public diplomacy. travel, but as a first question, it is an interesting question , in my opinion , there are a series of political, economic, cultural and cultural relations between countries , each relationship has different dimensions, but all countries try to create a better image of each other through public diplomacy. create a more favorable atmosphere in relationships so that the rest of

the interactions can be done more easily . make a positive impact so that relations in different areas can move much more smoothly. this is a serious issue in diplomacy, which is known as public diplomacy, which is a set of behaviors of one country in the other country so that it can to make the atmosphere favorable , what you mentioned was clearly in the field of your personality, mr. president. well , yes, i was speaking in general . public diplomacy has different dimensions. i am saying that sometimes the personality of some leaders or the personality of some people can play this role and create space

may it create a positive wave in the relations between the two countries. of course, sometimes people can destroy a space by themselves, but what happened during the trip to iraq is, in my opinion , one of the most obvious examples of public diplomacy through personal encounters. there was a president in the relations of this special style, mr. doctor. yan also left his influence in baghdad, and even more so in the kurdistan region and in the shiite region of basra in kurdistan, in particular, his mastery of the language and his open and warm spirit in dealing with the whole atmosphere completely. well, we have witnessed this, especially in the last two or three years. there are some

problems now in the field of security, and these things happened in the region of the region, which led to a security agreement, and this agreement was being implemented, but this trip may have put us several years ahead in our relations. with that area in particular, mr. doctor, i would like to say that with the mastery you have spoken , they were able to establish a very positive and significant interaction. the heads of the three powers of the country negotiate in farsi , but they, well, before the negotiation and then during the negotiation, sometimes with the jokes that were made , the jokes that they make, the memories that they have in common with them, and then the interviews

that conducting one or two short interviews in the kurdish language, completely impressing the atmosphere there, and you could really see an enthusiasm and ecstasy on the opposite sides and on the kurdish sides . well, it was very special in the kurdistan region of iraq. i would like to mention the language issue and how easy it is for them to communicate years of public diplomacy, culture, media , people's communication , doing all of this in half a day and pushing the work forward , without exaggeration and without wanting to eulogize. i am telling you this because i observed it first hand, mr. barzani said during the meeting with him that we may not think that one day we will be able

to welcome the president of the islamic republic of iran in kurdish, and he responded to us in kurdish. well, this space made it much easier to negotiate about the work we had there. i don't want to get into its details now, but i think that the space that has been created there is ready for a much wider communication. the kurdistan region of iraq is a very suitable area for the expansion of commercial and economic relations with the city of sulaymaniyah, which is closer. there is a border with iran , it can be our entry gate to that region, and the cultural, religious

and historical commonalities and these will help us to expand our economic relations there much more , and now, in my opinion, the space is completely ready for this to happen. somehow in the south of iraq and in the city it happened in basra, which is finally a shia region and shia nomads, the shia nomadic sheikhs had participated with great enthusiasm in that speech where they had a doctor, and well , they gave their famous aba as a present, who is now very respected in the culture there. they respect him, and mr. doctor also created a very close relationship with the talks they did from their own hearts, with their own style, and now their talks were embellished with nahj al-balagheh, the words of amir al-mo'minin, who had many followers there anyway. and

it was very welcome, in my opinion, this aspect of the general diplomacy of the trip communication with his thoughts. the iraqi government, which i used in the article i wrote in the tweet that i wrote to describe the amazing public diplomacy , was really amazing and you could see this closely. let's not forget that this is the first visit of an iranian president to these two countries. it was up to the region, that is, until now, our ambassadors had visited baghdad a lot, but they had not visited the iraqi region and the shiite region of basra. it had a historical dimension , and i think it was very effective in terms of the impact it made it created a new chapter in our relations with iraq . very well, since the late government

of the 13th head of government, a series of economic, political and security projects were carried out in order to lead to an understanding that was signed . look at the same memorandum . until now, with the cooperation of the iraqi government and the measures taken in the iraqi region, many parts of that security agreement had been implemented. we got a favorable promise that the rest of the sections will be implemented quickly in the climate region, whether in erbil or in sulaymaniyah , as you know, both cities were visited, and there was a balance in that region. in both cities, we were assured that the rest

of the steps that need to be taken will be taken , and we were fully assured that the kurdistan region of iraq will not be a threat to the territory of the islamic republic of iran in any way in the future, and elements that in the past period, abusing this situation and making so-called threats towards us , these will be dealt with and will not be allowed, now there are details on how to deal it may be that there is no place for him to enter, but the assurance that was given, in my opinion, was a very clear assurance , under the influence of the atmosphere that had been created, one could really trust the promises that were made, and i think that in terms of security, apart from diplomacy, there is hope in the field of security is also affected by this trip. it was very good. in the economic field, we

have several important projects with or several important issues with the iraqis, which were naturally discussed in baghdad. now the sharmcheh railway project is complete. there are border issues and the discussion of our demands from the iraqi government yes, it has become a problem even for the iraqi government because of the sanctions and the problems that exist, but, thank god , solutions had already been found and implemented , and emphasis was placed on them. it is more important that we and iraq decided to move towards a strategic cooperation and compile a comprehensive document for our relations in all aspects of political, security, defense , economic, environmental, even in any case, we have environmental problems on both sides, legal discussions. all these will be established in one form, god willing. a part of what your excellency said you said, let

us see iraq in the form of a report, the destination of the 14th government's first foreign trip. i think it will be a very good trip in establishing economic, cultural , political and security relations. sudani became the prime minister of iraq and yadi farman. the victorious world of the resistance of martyrs haj qassem soleimani and abu mahdi al-muhandis at the exit of baghdad airport. the next visit of the president was here, the presidential palace. with his counterpart abdul latif rashid. forming specialized commissions between the two countries to deal with terrorism was one of the axes of this conversation. in addition to a common economic vision, the elimination of the dollar from bilateral financial transactions. the next program was the joint meeting of the high-ranking delegations of the two countries, which

began with the review of cooperation in the security fields of the refinery and energy industries, and the result was the signing of 14 cooperation documents. and an economic meeting with iranian economic activists in iraq, we are trying to improve the platform for faster, more correct communication and win-win on both sides. the end of the program of the first day. let's prepare a great sabbath

the relations and especially the security issue have been specially emphasized by mr. president himself and we also emphasized that the territory of the kurdistan region of iraq should not be used against the islamic republic in any way . sulaymaniyah was also the second destination in the north of iraq . former president of iraq allah's visit to atbat aliat hassan was the end of the second day of the trip. the third day was the destination of southern iraq. this is a port and strategic city. president basra announced a special follow-up in the gathering of elite academics and nomads of southern iraq. i turned back to the train route of shlemche closed with strength and i will carefully follow up that, god willing , we will connect this road quickly and he asked a question, if we muslims

were to fraternize with each other with any faith and belief, or if we were to fraternize, israel would be able to do so. the so-called population massacres the muslims every day. on his return, the president expressed the most important achievement of this intense trip in this way, in order to achieve that vision and common language , a team from our side and a team from the other side should sit together and those strategic plans. write the long term for each of these topics that we mentioned , god willing, at the next meeting when we meet we are going to sign those strategic plans together. hasannejad of the sed and sima news agency should write that, "okay, mr. doctor, our level of trade relations and exchanges is almost 10-12 billion dollars. is it expected that with the development of these relations, the signing of this memorandum will happen? " the things that happened during this trip, this number

has reached 20 billion dollars, you can see that its capacity is completely there, in my opinion and i think that despite the problems that exist in relation to bank transactions , there is a solution for all of this, and in this the trip was discussed and it has already been discussed by the merchants we are now imported and are in control of how to find ways to transfer money , despite these problems, but i think that the capacity to increase trade between the two countries is completely there . and we have a so-called lack of imports from both sides, and we need to strengthen this further . i feel that maybe our traders are not familiar with the capacities of the iraqi market. on the contrary, i see a lot of capacity in iraqi kurdistan in basra. there are really many capacities and connections between them

it means the so-called proximity of these two cities to our country and... the access they have can make each of them an exchange center, a goods exchange center, a re-export center, or as the term says , re-export to iran, which is now in the region. it is done in other places, there is this capacity, and i think that if these capacities are fully identified and the merchants of both sides are informed, and now there will be a facility in the matter of money transfer. that we are working on this as well, in terms of discussions about the security and the use of national currencies , i hope that even more than the figure that you said that it will happen, but it needs a lot of work and effort. well, if we distance ourselves from iraq and go to other areas of your foreign policy in the program that you presented to the parliament

, regarding relations with neighbors and with it means that these are all on our agenda. and with all this , we will move forward with our neighbors and neighboring areas , with countries and emerging economies, with regional organizations such as shanghai brics, etc., and with china and russia, who are our old friends and we have strong relations. god willing, i will establish a relationship with them we will do it, and with the markets of the new regions , the new geography of africa, latin america, east asia

, all of this will proceed in parallel, god willing. and let's enter these new areas, one of which we have already discussed iraq . you know that in every government that comes to office , where the head of that government makes his first foreign trip is always a matter, that is

, it carries a message that which country in which region is more important to me. in view of this, and in view of the importance it has for iran, we chose it both in the framework of the neighborhood policy and in the framework of the bilateral relationship with iraq itself, and this message was that our first and main importance is to the area of ​​our own neighborhood. it is our own periphery, and our own region is the first so-called area that we will work with . at the same time , we will advance the rest of the priorities. in the aviation field , the question of adding new sanctions is if this do not develop mutual respect. what will be our alternative solution then, see what is certain, we are looking to

pursue relations with europe from a new angle and from a new perspective, and if we can, this new path, which is based on mutual respect, is based on one based on interests. it is in the national interest of the country and in a dignified way if we can create and european countries clarify their wrong policies in front of iran, well naturally we can return to a reasonable routine with europe. our effort is to do this , of course our priority is elsewhere. but with europe we don't forget that we can use the capacities that are there, the europeans do not apply wrong policies against iran. sometimes , some of them take even hostile policies, and we have to accept the issue of ukraine , which

has added to the complications of our relationship with europe. this is a fact. what is happening in ukraine and the feeling that the europeans have towards the threat of russia is natural, which has caused new problems and complications in the relationship with iran, which we must overcome, and this requires that reasonable and rational dialogues be re-emphasized. i want it to be formed between us on the basis of mutual respect and honorably, so that some of the existing understandings can be resolved, and one or two concerns that both sides have can be discussed. europe cannot expect us to unilaterally understand their security concerns and, for example, do something about it. europeans should also understand iran's concerns and talk to us from a position of equality and respect . if they have concerns, we also have concerns. we

also have concerns in the field of sanctions, economic issues, security issues, and many other issues. now, we have a problem with europe, we have a point , we have concerns, just as they are worried, the way is not to use failed tools , sanctions are a failed tool, it is worn out , europeans should understand that , they have experienced all kinds of sanctions before. they brought in iran and its nuclear program, but iran's nuclear program continued to grow and progress until it was forced to sit at the negotiating table. it arrived, but later, the americans will find the way to change and going back to their own wrong policies and now they are seeing the results of how much progress our nuclear program has made compared to that time. it is clear that the sanctions

have failed in the issue of ukraine, which is causing them concern . well, al-qaeda people should understand they are worried about, for example, what kind of weapons we have given to russia. well, if it wasn't iranian, iran is not the same country that you sanctioned one day even for barbed wire. you didn't give him the simplest military tools, what happened that now he has reached the point where he can export sophisticated weapons according to your claim. do it to a country like russia, well, this shows that your sanctions have not worked, and if europe really has concerns, if europe really wants to build trust, the way is honorable talks, talks from an equal position and based on mutual respect , in which the concerns of both sides are addressed. it is clear that he cannot expect that europe's concerns will be addressed unilaterally. this path is a two-way path. it is a two-way path and we are ready for these talks and we hope that these

talks will take place if we reach a reasonable point it is natural that we reach a balance with europe it can take a different form, so to speak, according to the interpretation of the supreme leader of europe, return to our priorities , but at the moment, we have a priority to go and establish a relationship with europe, while we have many other capacities, we definitely do not have this priority, but it is not the case that leave europe aside if the concerns of both sides are addressed in a two-way path. there is a possibility of reforming relations. the last time i talked with your excellency , you mentioned that the jcpoa will not be able to be revived with its requirements, but because it is in the law of the people's attention, the nuclear negotiations are specifically about in what direction will the nuclear issue of the negotiation go , what perspective do you have for it? now , let's see, first of all, the so-called appropriate foundation for restarting the negotiations must be established, and then we

enter into negotiations based on the same formula as in the jcpoa. it was used to build trust in the face of lifting sanctions. this jcpoa was based on this logic. if iran builds trust in its peaceful nuclear program and the other side lifts its sanctions, we can repeat this formula. let 's go back to it and conclude that some of its parts are true it is possible. for us, it no longer has the same benefit as it used to, it is true that some parts of it need to be changed, it has passed its date, but i still believe that there is a suitable framework that will lead us to a new agreement . with the europeans and the rest of the members of the jcpoa , let's reach a point of mutual understanding where we can

stand. let's start the conversation again. it is not like we need to lift the sanctions in such a way that we violate our own greater interests, our own big interests, or our own honor. let's step no, we are ready to enter into dignified talks with europeans based on mutual respect and using existing frameworks that will provide the best framework for us. thus, it is possible to provide and enter into the conversation and use the tools, according to the supreme leader's position, as honorable tools, to finally reach an honorable agreement that includes the necessary guarantees. this is the path we will take. we look at the past, we learn from the past , but we don't stop at the past. we look to the future we do it is true that if these negotiations continue

, he will find and with a new process , it will be followed up in your international transactions. this is now an internal decision of the ministry of foreign affairs, but nuclear negotiations have been in our international vice president since the beginning, when i was transferred to the political vice president, now he was transferred with me now, as in the past, our international vice president and political vice president will both be involved in these negotiations. naturally, the negotiations

will be very good, mr. doctor of the american elections, especially after the recent debate between mrs. kamel harris and mr. donald trump. well in the law of media attention has been placed. will whoever becomes the president in america affect our foreign policy? right now , their analysis is that because america is on the verge of holding elections, negotiations are suspended, or if it happens, it will be a show. it will not happen very seriously , but really. for our foreign policy, it makes a difference if , for example, democrats get republicans. look, for our big interests, for our national interests , it doesn't matter who our opposite party is, we will negotiate in which our interests will be secured. americans have their own special conditions , there were calls in the previous government.
