\u201cBecause of this popular might, Iran has become a regional power, and as a stable and democratic country, cannot be indifferent to the regional developments,\u201d said Kharazi, addressing a gathering of Asian and African envoys to Iran.<\/p>\n
He further hailed Iran\u2019s security, saying the foreign diplomats living in Iran have the privilege to watch the region very closely, without facing threats and dangers.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite being in a region filled with chaos and conflict, this watchtower (Iran), as a democracy, has [enough] security,\u201d he underlined.<\/p>\n
He also said one of the pillars of Iran\u2019s foreign policy is helping regional countries in fighting terrorism, making a reference to the Islamic Republic\u2019s role in Iraq and Syria.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe helped the Iraqi and Syrian governments because they asked for our help,\u201d he said, adding that Iran\u2019s help has led to great victories and achievements for the Syrian and Iraqi nations.<\/p>\n
