In a candid chat, Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi shared his visions following the recent meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) in Tianjin. He stressed the high value Iran places on the SCO, a platform that champions the role of Global South countries in today’s turbulent international scene. 🌏
Araghchi underlined that the SCO is paving new paths for addressing security, economic, and cultural issues in ways distinct from Western methods. He specifically pointed to a "fragile" ceasefire with Israel, noting that every effort counts when it comes to ensuring lasting stability. 🔥
The FM also opened the door to the possibility of restarting nuclear talks with the United States if the right conditions are met, hinting at Iran’s desire to shift gears toward dialogue and diplomacy. Furthermore, he expressed a strong expectation: the upcoming SCO Summit should rally full political support for Iran, especially after recent condemnations of attacks on the nation.
This fresh perspective cements the SCO as more than just a political forum—it’s a symbol of unity and a call for innovative approaches to complex global issues. Stay tuned as these international developments continue to shape our shared future!
