President Emphasizes Action on SCO Summit Agreements for Global Cooperation

In a recent statement following his return from China, President Pezeshkian emphasized the importance of discussions with the heads of state of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) members. These discussions are pivotal in fostering understanding and collaboration among member nations. The agreements reached during this summit are expected to create a favorable environment for Iran in various sectors including economy, security, science, and tourism.

During his visit, President Pezeshkian participated in two significant sessions that highlighted the collaborative efforts of the SCO. The first of these was the primary SCO meeting, where he advocated for the establishment of a committee focused on operationalizing peace and preventing threats among member states. His proposals also included strategies for enhancing financial transactions among the nations involved.

The second session, referred to as SCO Plus, included leaders from approximately 24 nations. At this meeting, Pezeshkian emphasized the necessity of achieving peace based on rights and justice. He noted that the Chinese president proposed a framework for global governance reform that emphasizes fairness and justice, steering clear of double standards.

• Signing of Agreements: Pezeshkian highlighted the signing of around 24 documents and several resolutions that address crucial issues such as security, counter-terrorism, and drug trafficking.
• Direct Dialogues: He pointed out the significance of direct dialogues with heads of state from Tajikistan, Pakistan, and Russia, which allowed for comprehensive discussions on economic, scientific, regional, and nuclear matters.
• Joint Statement: A joint statement condemning the illegal actions of three European countries—Britain, France, and Germany—regarding the snapback mechanism was signed during a meeting of foreign ministers from Iran, China, and Russia, which was later presented to the United Nations Security Council.

Moreover, Pezeshkian discussed the strategic decisions made through his engagements with senior officials from China and Turkey. These discussions are set to be followed up by their respective foreign, economic, and defense ministers, paving the way for future collaborations.

In addition to formal meetings, President Pezeshkian participated in informal discussions with other heads of state on the sidelines of the summit. These interactions provided a valuable opportunity to strengthen understanding, solidarity, and cooperation among nations.

The president expressed optimism that Iran would actively pursue the agreements reached at the summit. He believes that through their implementation, a positive outlook can be fostered in vital sectors such as the economy, security, science, tourism, and social issues, not only with neighboring countries but also with other participating nations.

Significantly, the final resolution of the summit condemned the aggression by the Israeli regime in June, supported by the United States. This condemnation was unanimously recognized by all countries as a violation of international law and the rights of nations. Pezeshkian called for the strength to uphold logic and justice in opposition to unilateralism, which he characterized as akin to the law of the jungle.

In conclusion, President Pezeshkian’s discussions in China have laid a foundation for enhanced cooperation among SCO member states, particularly in areas critical to Iran’s future. With the signing of various agreements and strategic dialogues, there is a promising outlook for the country as it seeks to advance its interests on the global stage.
