Pezeshkian: Iran wants peaceful coexistence with all nations

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has stressed mutual respect and acceptance of the territorial integrity of countries, and considered adherence to these principles to be the main condition for stability, IRNA reported.

"The Islamic Republic wants to live peacefully with all nations, but world powers do not want Iran to follow its path of growth and prosperity,'' he announced.

During his visit to Belarus, Pezeshkian met with Iranians living in Belarus, and expressed his pleasure at being among them.

He said that meeting Iranians abroad is a valuable opportunity that strengthens the emotional and identity bond between compatriots.

"The Islamic Republic wants to live peacefully with all nations, but world powers do not want Iran to follow its path of growth and prosperity," he added.

President Pezeshkian hailed the unity and cohesion within Iran as a significant achievement, asserting that this solidarity continues to thrive despite external pressures.

Pezeshkian reiterated the principled policy of the Islamic Republic in advocating for peace and avoiding an arms race, affirming that from the very beginning, Iranian authorities declared that they are not seeking weapons and their primary goal is unity and cohesion within Iran’s borders and fostering regional harmony.
