TEHRAN – Foreign Ministry spokesman Bahram Qassemi in a message bade farewell to media outlets, marking his last day as the spokesman. 

In his message, Qassemi said he was honored to serve as the spokesman and thanked Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif for his support, ILNA reported.

He said during his tenure, he put every effort to establish a constructive dialogue with media outlets, some of which had totally different outlooks.

Last month, Qassemi was named Tehran’s new ambassador to France.

He has been serving as spokesman and head of the Foreign Ministry’s Public and Media Diplomacy Center since mid-2016.
