Following severe economic sanctions and a reassessment of foreign policy, Iran has increasingly prioritized relations with Asian nations, leading to significant growth in trade, travel, and academic exchanges. However, substantial deficiencies in Asian studies remain, largely due to cultural biases, geographical misunderstandings, and institutional constraints. This article argues that strengthening expertise in regional languages and cultures is essential for informed policymaking and fostering mutual understanding. By integrating Asian studies into the academic curriculum, Iran can not only navigate its geo‐political landscape more effectively but also cultivate critical thinkers equipped to engage with diverse perspectives. Ultimately, this initiative serves as a vital component of Iran's foreign policy, facilitating sustainable partnerships while enhancing its global diplomatic standing. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Muslim World is the property of Wiley-Blackwell and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
