Based on this, the importance and necessity of presenting new research, especially focusing on the foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the 13th government, by a group of professors, elites and experts in this field in order to understand the discourse governing foreign policy and concepts and categories such as balance in foreign policy, politics The neighborhood, the strategy of looking to the east, scientific diplomacy, etc. caused the compilation of the foreign policy of the 13th government to be put on the agenda. In this framework, out of all the articles sent for publication in this special issue, 10 articles were approved after judging, and their main points are mentioned in this letter.
