TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman, Saeed Khatibzadeh announced that Foreign Minister, Mohammad Javad Zarif heading a high-ranking political and economic delegation will visit Pakistan on Tuesday to meet with Pakistani senior officials.
Speaking at a weekly press conference on Monday, Khatibzadeh said, “During the two-day visit to Pakistan, Zarif will have meetings with Pakistani senior political and military officials”.
Zarif is due to meet with Pakistan Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa, he added.
In response to a question of whether any connection has been made with Joe Biden’s team before and after the US’ presidential election, Khatibzadeh said, “Basically, Iran will have no connection with anybody beyond the issues related to JCPOA. On the other hand, a new administration has not yet taken power in the US. Iran will make its decisions according to the new situation after Biden’s administration takes office. What matters is actions, not words and speculations”.
“Iran’s policies are unaffected by the US administrations. The party that has violated commitments and has also threatened the others to breach the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was the US. We must witness reforms of US policies in all spheres, then we will judge on the basis of the measures,” he added.
Touching upon the decision of the Iraqi parliament about the issue of the US terrorist attack to assassinate Lt General Qassem Soleimani in the Iraqi soil last January and the end of Trump’s immunity as his rival Biden won the 2020 presidential election, the spokesman said the agents who committed such crime are on Iran’s list.
“In line with following up the case, Iran has had close cooperation with different sectors in Iraq,” Khatibzadeh added.
