Tehran:The Managing Director of the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Hossein Jaberi-Ansari, has underscored the importance of exploring opportunities for collaboration between IRNA and media outlets in Cyprus to enhance media relations.

According to Islamic Republic News Agency, Jaberi-Ansari, during a meeting with Iran's newly appointed ambassador to Cyprus, Mohsen Shamsizadeh, highlighted the potential benefits of reports on the media landscape in Cyprus. Such reports could help in identifying collaboration opportunities, allowing IRNA to assess possible areas of cooperation with Cypriot media.

Jaberi-Ansari noted that IRNA has existing cooperation agreements with official news agencies in other nations, suggesting that if feasible grounds for collaboration with Cypriot media exist, an agreement could be formulated and enacted to strengthen these ties. He also mentioned that IRNA's news teams are prepared to work with the Iranian Embassy in Cyprus to cover significant developments in the country.

He emphasized the significance of leveraging the expertise and reports produced by Iran's extensive network of diplomatic missions abroad. Given the constraints on deploying correspondents internationally, Jaberi-Ansari stressed the necessity of collaboration between Iran's diplomatic missions and IRNA to report on developments in host countries, viewing this as a chance to expand connections and establish direct communication channels.

Ambassador Shamsizadeh expressed his appreciation for IRNA's professional capabilities and stressed the importance of facilitating information flow and strengthening media relations during his tenure, considering these efforts vital for fostering mutual understanding between Iran and Cyprus.
