VP Applauds Eurasian Union’s Bold Stance Against Israeli Aggression Toward Iran

In a significant diplomatic move, First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref expressed appreciation for the supportive stance of the Eurasian Union member states regarding the challenges posed by the Zionist regime and the United States against Iran. This visit comes as part of Aref’s participation in the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) Prime Ministers’ Meeting, highlighting Iran’s commitment to regional collaboration.

Aref’s journey to Kyrgyzstan for the meeting underscores the growing ties between Iran and the EAEU. During his address on Friday at the Eurasian Economic Council meeting, he reflected on Iran’s inaugural presence at the council in Almaty earlier this year. He stated, “I expressed my views on regional integration and deepening relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Union.”

One of the highlights of Aref’s speech was the completion of a free trade agreement between Iran and the EAEU. He emphasized that this agreement has opened up remarkable opportunities for the economies of member states and their business communities. Aref stated:

  • Economic Opportunities: The free trade deal is expected to stimulate economic growth and enhance trade relations among member nations.
  • Sustainable Development: The agreement is designed to facilitate sustainable economic development within the region.
  • Constructive Interaction: It aims to foster stronger collaborative efforts across various sectors.

Aref highlighted Iran’s readiness to deepen cooperation with EAEU members in key areas such as:

  • Energy: Collaborative ventures in energy resources.
  • Commerce: Enhancing trade ties and commercial activities.
  • Modern Technologies: Leveraging advancements in technology for mutual benefit.
  • Transportation: Improving transportation networks to facilitate trade.

He expressed confidence that these mutual efforts will align with the goals of the EAEU, paving the way for a more integrated regional economy. Aref’s trip to Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, from August 14-15, 2025, is not just about attending meetings; it is a strategic initiative aimed at fostering bilateral, multilateral, and regional cooperation.

During his departure from Tehran’s Mehrabad Airport, Aref emphasized that strengthening relations with neighboring countries, especially those within the Eurasian region, remains a top priority for Iran. He remarked on the deep cultural and historical connections shared between Iran and other Eurasian nations, stating:

“These shared ties necessitate the enhancement of cooperation across all sectors.”

The Eurasian Economic Union is a pivotal international economic organization established by the Treaty on the Eurasian Economic Union in 2014. Its primary goal is to promote regional integration by ensuring the free movement of:

  • Goods
  • Services
  • Capital
  • Labor

With the approval of the five member states—Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Russia—Iran became an observer member of the EAEU in 2024. This status is a significant step for Iran, indicating its commitment to participating actively in regional economic affairs.

In conclusion, Aref’s engagement with the EAEU marks a critical moment in Iran’s foreign policy, focusing on strengthening economic ties and regional cooperation. As the world continues to evolve, Iran’s strategic partnerships within the EAEU could play a vital role in enhancing its economic landscape and fostering stability in the region.
