Ali Soltanieh celebrates his 75th birthday

Dear Ali! Please accept my heartfelt congratulations on your upcoming 75th birthday! On this momentous occasion, we express our deep respect and gratitude for your longstanding contribution to strengthening international security, advancing nuclear disarmament, and fostering diplomatic dialogue. Your distinguished career – from being the Director of the Nuclear Research Center of the Iranian Atomic Energy Organization to your long-standing service as Iran’s Permanent Representative to the IAEA and other international organizations – serves as an inspiring example of dedication to peace and stability. Your efforts to create a zone free from weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East, as well as your active participation in negotiations over Iran’s nuclear program, have left an indelible mark on global diplomacy. With your involvement, numerous international and regional conferences have been held on issues of international security, nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and disarmament. Your lectures and research at leading universities worldwide, such as Harvard, Webster University, and Antonio de Nebrija University, continue to inspire a new generation of diplomats and scholars. Your role as President of the Vienna International Institute for Middle Eastern Studies (VIIMES) and as a member of PIR Center Advisory Board Member continues to exert significant influence on the development of international cooperation and the strengthening of peace. With my best wishes for health, happiness, and continued success in your noble mission!
