Vahid Jalalzadeh – Deputy for Consular, Parliamentary, and Iranian Expatriate Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran: The second series of regional meetings focusing on neighboring countries and target areas, aimed at strengthening and systematizing provincial diplomacy, will be held in Mashhad on October 21st and 22nd.

Speaking on the sidelines of a meeting with the Deputy Economic Governor of Khorasan Razavi Province, Vahid Jalalzadeh stated that one of President Pezeshkian’s key policies emphasizes taking seriously the role of provinces in governing the country.

In this regard, regional meetings on provincial diplomacy were held in May of this year, hosted by Shiraz and Fars Province. Now, by God’s grace, we are on the eve of the second provincial diplomacy meeting, hosted by Mashhad and Khorasan Razavi Province, in which officials and managers related to the field of diplomacy from North Khorasan and South Khorasan provinces will also participate.
