Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said that Iran has always sought stability, peace and regional security and has never sought to develop nuclear weapons due to its fundamental principles. Pezeshkian made the remarks during a meeting with the new Swiss ambassador to Iran, Olivier Bangert, on Tuesday (October 7) evening.
\nDuring the meeting, the Iranian president said, \u201cIran is firmly committed to stability, peace and security in the West Asian region.\u201d
\n\u201cSwitzerland has been a historical bridge of communication between Tehran and Washington since the victory of the Islamic Revolution,\u201d he said.
\nThe Iranian president urged Ambassador Bangert to convey to US officials that Iran has never sought to develop nuclear weapons and has always adhered to its fundamental principles and policies.
\nPezeshkian praised Switzerland\u2019s constructive, neutral and balanced stance among European countries, especially in international disputes.
\nHe expressed gratitude for Switzerland’s cooperation in the pharmaceutical and food sectors, despite the challenges posed by sanctions and wrong policies of the United States and some European countries.
\nOn the other hand, Ambassador Bangarter expressed his pleasure at starting his mission in Iran and outlined his main goals. These are to further strengthen bilateral relations between Tehran and Bern and to strengthen Switzerland’s role as a reliable communication bridge between Tehran and Washington.
\nThe ambassador assured that he will spare no effort to achieve these goals and will try to reflect the culture, history and hospitality of the Iranian people.
