Thursday, 10 February 2022 (YJC)_ In a telephone conversation with the Prime Minister of Japan, the President stressed the need to release Iran's blocked foreign exchange resources in Japan.
In response to the phone call of the Prime Minister of Japan "Kishida Fumio", President Seyed Ibrahim Raisi welcomed the expression of the country's interest and desire to strengthen and further strengthen the level of bilateral relations and cooperation, saying:
Iran and Japan are two countries with a glorious and peaceful civilization and history, the strengthening of which is in the interest of all nations.
The President noted:
With the knowledge of the capacities of the two countries, it is possible to take big steps towards strengthening Tehran-Tokyo relations.
"The US government's adherence to the failed policies of the former administration is a major obstacle to the acceptable progress of the negotiations," he said.
Regardless of the nuclear deal, the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to increase the level of its relations and cooperation with other countries, including Japan, in the direction of mutual interests.
He also stressed the need for lasting peace and stability in the world and said:
Tehran and Tokyo can play an effective role in creating and promoting peace and stability in the region and the world by strengthening joint cooperation.
Raisi added:
The Islamic Republic of Iran is moving towards strengthening peace and stability in the West Asian region and developing neighborly relations, and will continue its security-building efforts with the cooperation of the countries of the region to establish lasting stability.
The President considered the intervention of foreigners as the main cause of insecurity in the region and stressed the need to resolve the Yemeni crisis through Yemeni-Yemeni talks:
Today, with the breaking of the oppressive siege of Yemen, it is necessary to prevent the horrible crime of the coalition forces in massacring and killing the defenseless people of this country.
Raisi also stressed the need to release Iran's frozen foreign exchange resources in Japan.
The Prime Minister of Japan "Kishida Fumio" also said in his phone call congratulating the anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution:
I have traveled to Tehran several times during the time of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the chairmanship of the Iran-Japan Friendship Group, and today, as Prime Minister, with my knowledge of the capacities of the two countries, I seek to develop relations and activate joint cooperation capacities.
