Iran and Lithuania have numerous capacities to improve ties/ Removal of oppressive sanctions against Iran will provide basis for agreement

Speaking on Monday, July 4, 2022 in the ceremony of receiving the letter of credence of the non-resident ambassador of Lithuania, Dr. Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi said: “The two countries have diverse and numerous capacities to promote relations and economic and commercial cooperation with each other”.
Stating that Western countries should fulfil their commitments, the President added, “According to the approval of all observers, the Islamic Republic of Iran has complied with its obligations in the agreement, but instead, the United States has withdrawn from this agreement and the European countries have also violated their obligations”.
Dr Raisi described the action of the United States and European countries to pursue the issuance of a resolution against Iran by the Board of Governors of the International Atomic Energy Agency during the negotiations as brazen and contrary to the requirements of negotiation and agreement, saying, “The removal of oppressive sanctions against Iran will provide the basis for agreement and cooperation”.
In this meeting, Ričardas Degutis, the non-resident Ambassador of Lithuania proposed to expand relations and improve the level of economic and commercial cooperation between Iran and the member states of the European Union, including Lithuania, saying, “As a member of the European Union, I emphasise that there is good ground for the development of relations with the Islamic Republic of Iran”.

Ms. Vaida Stankeviciene, the counsellor and the deputy head of mission at the embassy of the republic of Lithuania to turkey was also present in this meeting.
