Among neighbors, we witness a good development in relations with Russia both politically and economically.

For non-neighboring countries, we are going to witness a good development in the upcoming months in ties with China.

Our situation with the US had been and is a difficult one and our problems cannot be solved soon.

Concerning relations with the Saudi Arabia, President Rouhani said that Saudi Arabia is not an obstacle and we have no problems with them.
