Salehi: Sanctions cannot halt Iran’s progress trend
Ljubljana, July 12, IRNA – Foreign Minister Ali-Akbar Salehi reiterated here Monday evening that the UNSC imposed sanctions have not halted Iran’s progress and will not be able to paralyze our country in any way.
Salehi made the comment at a press conference with Iranian and foreign reporters in the Ljubljana Chamber of Commerce.
Salehi reiterated, “The Islamic Republic of Iran is a stable, safe, and progressing country and the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) sanction resolutions have had no effect on the process of our advancements.”
In response to a question on the effects of the UN sanction over Iran’s economic cooperation with the other countries, Salehi added, “We cannot say that the sanctions have been quite ineffective, but they have not been able to halt us.”
Salehi meanwhile said, “The sanctions do not hurt the governments, but the nations are hurt due to them.”
Salehi meanwhile at a joint gathering of the two countries’ merchants and economic activist referred to the existing potentials and capabilities of Slovenia, adding that Iran is an ideal market for the industrial products of Slovenia.
Elaborating on the capabilities of Iran in various fields he said, “Despite the imposed sanctions Iran is standing firmly on its own feet and has managed to reach self sufficiency in various fields.”
Salehi referred to Iran’s oil and gas resources, arguing, “We are ready for providing the energy needs of Slovenia.”
Salehi meanwhile announced Iran’s readiness for getting involved in implementation of joint projects with Slovenia in other countries, including Iraq.
Salehi referred to Iran’s capabilities and advancements in modern technological fields in details, in such realms as producing medicines using the nuclear technology, the nanotechnology advancements, and the stem cell technology achievements in Iran, reiterating, “The Iranian Stock Exchange Market, too, is one of the best such markets in the world despite the limitations and world bank sanctions, and the value of the Iranian Stock Exchange shares has doubled during the course of the past year.”
He emphasized, “Iran is a stable country in the Middle East and anyone who would make investments in Iran can rest assured that he has made a secure investment.”
Salehi invited the Slovenian merchants and businessmen to visit Iran and to get acquainted personally with the various potentials and realities, since the realties differ with some of the Western media propagations about Iran. Salehi also invited the Slovenian media to visit Iran to see, and reflect the truth about Iran.
For his part, the Managing Director of Ljubljana Chamber of Commerce, Samo Jeribar Melich, too, reiterated, “Two months ago the Association of the Iran-Slovenia Merchants was established and we were the hosts of a number of Iranian delegations, including commercial delegations.
The Slovenian economic official said that the Iranian economy is among the greatest and most advanced economies in the Middle East, reiterating, “We support expansion of economic relations with Iran.”
At the meeting the Slovenian businessmen and merchants elaborated in ways for expansion of economic cooperation with Iran in their talks with Mr. Salehi.
Ali-Akbar Salehi in the first leg of his European tour arrived in Slovenia, in the south of the Central Euorpe, on an invitation by his Slovenian counterpart, Samuel Zbougr for a day-long visit.
The two countries’ foreign ministers had a round of talks during this visit.
During Salehi’s visit of Slovenia the two countries signed a document on cultural, scientific and academic exchange between the two countries. The documents that are prepared to be implemented between the years 2011 and 2014 in accordance with the prepared time schedule in the two countries are on cultural, scientific, economic, sports and tourism cooperation between the two countries.
Later on in the day the Islamic Republic of Iran’s first Embassy in Ljubljana was officially opened in the Slovenian capital city.
According to the IRNA reporter, the Republic of Slovenia declared independence from the former Republic of Yugoslavia in the year 1991 and the Iranian Foreign Ministry issued a communiqué right then, recognizing Slovenia’s independence, which marked the beginning of the two countries’ official diplomatic relations.
A year later the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Slovenia at the time visited Iran and in that visit the first political cooperation protocol between the two countries was signed at the IRI Foreign Ministry.
In the year 1993 the Slovenian Government opened its first embassy in Tehran, although its embassies in the world, and particularly in the Asia-Pacific region were few and far apart, which was a sign of the Importance that the Ljubljana attached to Iran’s status and to its relations with Tehran.
The political relations between the two countries continued till in the fall season of 2010 Mohammad-Rahim Aqaiepour delivered a copy of his credentials to the Slovenian President Danilo Turk./end
