RT @araghchi: When I agreed to present a keynote address before @carnegienpp, Iran and the U.S. had not yet set dates for the next round of talks, which begin at the expert level on Wednesday and at the principals' level on Saturday.

As I underscore in my prepared remarks, Iran has no intention to negotiate in public.

My address also makes clear that certain Special Interest groups are laboring to manipulate the course of diplomacy by smearing negotiators and goading the U.S. administration into making maximalist demands.

I am accustomed to tough questions from journalists and ordinary concerned citizens alike. But turning my keynote address into an open Q&A would either turn the event into a public negotiation, which I am not willing to countenance, or be unsatisfactory for an audience probably looking for details on where the talks might go. I regret that my intended host was neither cognizant nor considerate of these sensitive dynamics.

Those who are interested in what I planned to say are welcome to read my speech, shared below in full.

The full text of the intended speech originally scheduled to be delivered at the Carnegie International Nuclear Policy Conference by Iran's Foreign Minister, H.E. Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, is as follows: - I.R.IRAN Mission to UN, NY

RT @AmbLiaoLiqiang: ما مدى روعة الابتكار في البناء الصيني؟ دعونا نرافق الشابة المصرية نورا الشاذلي، وهي موظفة بإحدى الشركات الصينية، إلى مدينة جينان. هذه المرة، زارت نورا مركز شانغه للأبحاث والتطوير، لتتعرف على مبانٍ ذكية دون انبعاثات كربونية أو استهلاك للطاقة. 🌞💧
👀لمست جدرانًا زجاجية قادرة على توليد الكهرباء من الشمس، واستكشفت نظامًا ذكيًا لإعادة تدوير مياه الأمطار. واكتشفت أيضا المباني التي تنبض بالحياة وتتنفس مع الطبيعة. هكذا يستخدم المهندسون في الصين التكنولوجيا لبناء مدن أكثر استدامة وذكاء للمستقبل 🌏💡 #انطلاق_الصين #السياحة_في_الصين #الصداقة_الصينية_المصرية
