“Wishing everyone across the globe - from all races, religions and ethnicities - a happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. Let us all resolve to ensure that no innocent man, woman or child is killed or starved due to conflict, terror, aggression and coercion in 2019," Zarif tweeted on December 31.

Earlier in the day, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also offered congratulations to heads of state and world leaders on the occasion of the New Year 2019.
