This forum acts as a platform for exchanging of views among various countries and cultures and is active in de-escalation of tensions and enhancement of regional and global cooperation.

The Islamic Republic of Iran uses this forum to express its stances in political, cultural and security fields and present its viewpoints and priorities in the international foreign policy. One of the main axes of TDF is to put emphasis on challenges like extremism, sanctions and foreign interventions.

The developments of West Asia, Palestine, Yemen and the relations of Islamic countries are being discussed in the event. This forum helps Iran strengthen its image as a supporter of international dialogue and peace in a bid to thwart the negative image propagated 7/24 by the West.

Tehran Dialogue Forum plays an important role in Iran's multilateral diplomacy, and is used as a long-term strategy for broadening cultural and political ties with other countries, particularly Islamic countries. This event also indicates Iran's effort as the pioneer of proximity of Islamic ideas and countering policies of discord.

TDF has thwarted the false and hostile anti-Iran propaganda of the West and indicates that the Islamic Republic is effective and respected in the world.

This forum will also stabilize Iran's status as a diplomatic bridge in the region and will guarantee the successful approach in the foreign policy to expand cooperation with the regional nations.
