"We are eager to cooperate with our neighbors to promote regional sustainable development through active environmental diplomacy, constructive relations with other countries, transfer of technology and know-how, and participation in joint scientific activities, in order to fulfill our share in building a more sustainable world immune from environmental threats," Rouhani outlined, speaking at the UN Sustainable Development Summit.
On July 14, Iran, Russia, the United States, China, the United Kingdom, France and Germany signed a historic deal to guarantee the peaceful nature of Tehran's nuclear activities in exchange for sanctions relief.
Lifting of sanctions is viewed in Iran as a practical possibility for resuming cooperation with both regional and international partners.
