Identity matters for nations like Iran which are moving from transition period to new era, Salehi said on Sunday during a ceremony on introducing new Managing Director of IRNA Mohammad Reza Norouzpour.
The more those identities are developed, the more powerful the nation will be, the minister said at the ceremony underway at IRNA office in Tehran.
