The Necessity of Power for Success in Negotiations
Imani emphasized that without power, no negotiation can reach a desirable outcome, stating: 'Power means the ability to influence others, and this is particularly important in international negotiations.' He also added that weaker countries in diplomacy are usually unable to achieve favorable results, which requires strengthening the economic and military foundations of countries.
Imani continued by saying that to advance any negotiations, one must possess sufficient power and influence. He added that otherwise, other parties can easily exploit this weakness, and the outcomes of negotiations will be in their favor.
In conclusion, Nasser Imani emphasized that strengthening national power and paying attention to economic and social issues are among the matters that should be prioritized by the country's policymakers to achieve greater successes in the international arena.
