Détente, Depoliticized Economy, Diverse Partners Vital for Growth

Iran should pursue a long-term policy of détente with the world, depoliticize its economy, avoid over-reliance on Russia and China if it wants to safeguard its national interests and diversify from oil, says an economic expert. 
“Hostility toward any country is not constructive for us. A country like Iran, which aspires to develop industrially and economically and reduce its reliance on oil as the main source of revenue, should put détente on its agenda because these objectives can only be achieved by taking advantage of other countries’ technology,” Mohammad-Qoli Yousefi also told the Iranian Diplomacy website in a recent interview.
