Under the media’s spotlight, Iran’s foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi met British Prime Minister Tony Blair on Monday at Blair’s official residence on Downing Street.
   Kharrazi’s visit, the first by an Iranian minister since the 1979 Islamic revolution, was hailed by the international community as a crucial step cementing a rapprochement with Britain after decades of suspicion and mistrust.
   Relations between the two countries soured and came to a standstill when the late Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini issued a death order two years ago against Salman Rushdie, the British writer who authored "the satanic verses" for so-called disrespecting Islam.
   After the meeting, Blair’s spokesman said Kharrazi’s visit was "an important landmark in Iran’s reintegration into the international community." It shows that the tense relationship between Western countries and Iran began to ease. Peaceful means again turned out to be the best solution in settling differences.
   The visit, along with the normalization of diplomatic relations between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and Italy, got across a message that ideological or cultural differences should not constitute an obstacle to the development of bilateral relations.
   Economic sanctions imposed by Western countries against Iran can do nothing but only lead to further confrontation and hostility.
   According to the current situation, British Prime Minister Tony Blair has changed the nation’s strategy, and he decided to decrease the collapse of relations between Britain and Iran. Also he advised the whole western nations should also make a change to improve the peacefulness of the whole world. "We want peace and not war. "He said.
