TEHRAN – Iran’s new ambassador to Denmark, Mohammad Reza Sajjadi, has begun his mission in Copenhagen, with a clear mandate from the Iranian Foreign Ministry to pursue a policy of “interaction and constructive dialogue” with Europe.
Prior to his departure, Sajjadi met with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, presenting a report on the mission site and outlining his vision for strengthening bilateral relations. Araghchi, in turn, emphasized the importance of fostering constructive engagement with Europe as a key component of Iran’s foreign policy under the 14th government.
Sajjadi, a seasoned diplomat with extensive experience, brings a wealth of knowledge to the role. He has previously served in key positions including Assistant Director General of South Asia, Ambassador and Permanent Representative to Geneva, Director General of International Political Affairs, and Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations.
Relations between Iran and Europe have been continuously festering in recent years, with the latter following in the footsteps of the United States in pressuring Iran and abandoning its commitments.
