TEHRAN (Defapess) – Speaking in a meeting of the Central Headquarters of the Economy of Resistance in Tehran on Monday afternoon, Es’hagh Jahangiri said that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is pursuing its negotiations with the European Union in order to secure the interests of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

“The United States is trying to hurt the Iranian economy through various methods,” Jahangiri said, while stressing that the Iranian government will spare no effort to tackle the problems and maintain the economic stability of the country.

The first vice president emphasized "under the new conditions, economic diplomacy is the most important tool to tackle the economic pressures and cruel US sanctions.”
