AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): French President Emmanuel Macron spoke with Ayatollah Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi by telephone on Saturday evening.
Strategies to strengthen bilateral relations, regional issues and the latest status of talks in Vienna for lifting of sanctions were the focus of this telephone conversation.
Referring to the US recognition of the failure of the policy of maximum pressure, Ayatollah Raisi stressed, "The Islamic Republic of Iran has shown its will and seriousness to reach an agreement in the negotiation process, and any effort by the other side in this regard should include the lifting of sanctions, verification and valid guarantee”.
Emphasising that stability and security in the region can only be achieved through intra-regional solutions and not foreign interventions, Dr Raisi called on the international community to pay attention to the humanitarian crisis in Yemen and lift the siege of the oppressed people of the country.
In this phone call, the French President stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran has the right to distrust the United States because it was the United States that caused the crisis.
Emmanuel Macron also condemned the military aggression against the Yemeni people, especially the recent attacks.
Developments in the region, including the situation in Lebanon, were other topics of discussion between the presidents of Iran and France.
