MehdJ Zakerlan• Introduction he cultural, political and economic relations now existing between the Islamic Republic of Iran and Republic of France been based on mutual trust and understanding for many years.
The perception and consensus of the Iranian nation in support of President Scyyed Mohamad Khatami 's programs rooted in the principles of dignity, wisdom and detente inforeign relations with great and important political powers all worked to open a new chapter in the Paris-Tehran nexus.
Forelan Polley-National Interests: Iran and France The structure of Tehran-Paris intercourse can be analyzed and interpreted on the basis of two common and essential concepts, namely foreign policy and national interests.
As a result the foreign policy of France is based on expansion of cultural, political and economic relations with other states.
Hence Khatami's election and enunciation of his programs and foreign policy based· on the ideals of dignity, wisdom, expediency arid detente in foreign relations opened up ties among Iran and other countries including France.
On this basis Iran's active presence in the international arena, following the great and rapid developments there, particularly the events of the 1990s, requires an active and dynamic foreign policy coupled with modem diplomacy.
What is usually referred to as a ray of hope in permanent relations between Iran and France is the model of foreign policy that began on May 23rd with the votes of 20 million people which breathed new life into the ties between the two countries.
