Rouhani Vows to Pursue Active Foreign Diplomacy

Iran's power stems from domestic growth, but looking inward should not mean ignoring the importance of foreign relations, President Hassan Rouhani said on Wednesday. 
"Using domestic potential is the main source of our country's power, but it should not be interpreted as turning a blind eye to foreign potential and not having cooperation and interaction with other countries," he told a Cabinet meeting in Tehran, his website reported. 
Rouhani, who won two landslide elections on promises to open Iran to the world, said making meaningful progress in the fields of economy, science and technology requires engagement with other nations.
