Iranian Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araghchi on Thursday called on BRICS member states and members from the international community to “unequivocally condemn violations of international law” by the United States and Israel, which come against the backdrop of the escalating tensions and recent conflict in West Asia.
Addressing the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting here, Araghchi said Iran views BRICS as a symbol of an emerging global order led increasingly by countries of the Global South.
“Over the past year, I have had the honour of attending two BRICS summits to express the Iranian government’s belief that this mechanism symbolises the emergence of a new world order, one in which the global South is one of the main architects of the world’s future. What was once an ambitious ideal has become a reality, but it is a fragile one. Declining imperialist powers are seeking to turn back the clock and are reacting with desperation and aggression as they seek to downgrade,” Araghchi said.
