Iran&#39;s newly-elected President Ebrahim Raisi has said establishing extensive interaction with the neighbouring countries constitutes one of his government&#39;s main foreign policy principles.</p>
<p>
He made the remarks on Wednesday in a meeting with Nurdinjon Ismailov, speaker of the Legislative Chamber of Oliy Majlis of Uzbekistan.</p>
<p>
&quot;There are countless potentials for the development of relations between the two countries in different fields, especially economy,&quot; Raisi was quoted as saying by the Iranian Presidency&#39;s official website, Xinhua news agency reported.</p>
<p>
For his part, Ismailov said that Uzbekistan seeks to develop and strengthen comprehensive relations with Iran, especially in the trade and economic sectors.</p>
<p>
In the same day, Raisi also held meetings with envoys from other countries dispatched to Iran&#39;s capital Tehran to attend Raisi&#39;s inauguration ceremony on Thursday.</p>
<p>
During his meeting with Omani Foreign Minister Sayyid Badr Hamad al-Busaidi, Raisi said that Iran aims to develop relations with Oman &quot;in all political, economic, social and cultural fields.&quot;</p>
<p>
For his part, al-Busaidi greeted Raisi&#39;s election, saying the &quot;historical and deep-rooted relationship&quot; between Oman and Iran has become &quot;a model between countries in the region.&quot; The Omani envoy also expressed hope to have Raisi as a guest in Muscat &quot;as soon as possible.&quot;</p>
<p>
During another meeting with Mahmadtoir Zokirzoda, chairman of the Assembly of Representatives of Tajikistan, Raisi called for the development of ties between Iran, Tajikistan and Afghanistan as three Persian-speaking countries.</p>
<p>
&quot;The insecurity in Afghanistan today, which is rooted in foreign interference in the country, is not in anyone&#39;s interest. Iran and Tajikistan should have closer bilateral and international cooperation with each other to eliminate this common concern,&quot; Raisi noted.</p>
<p>
For his part, Zokirzoda greeted Raisi on his election, and praised the potential for the development of Iran-Tajikistan ties, which he described as based on &quot;common language, culture, history and civilisation.&quot;</p>
<p>
The Iranian newly-elected president has set the enhancement of ties with neighbouring, Asian, Latin American, and non-Western countries as a priority of his foreign policy agenda.</p>
