Deputy Foreign Minister of Iran: Non-aligned parties to neutralize the threats of unilateralism

According to IRNA on Tuesday, “Mehdi Safari”, who headed a delegation to Belgrade on Monday, October 10, to attend the 60th anniversary of the Non-Aligned Movement, said today at the summit: “The broad global challenges that today We face the need to take significant collective action internationally.

Safari added: “As the growing threats of unilateralism increase in the international arena, the NAM can enhance and strengthen global cooperation, proving that multilateralism is no longer a viable option but only a practical response.” To global crises.

The Iranian official continued at the summit: “The pandemic of Covid-19 has been one of the difficult tests in the field of global solidarity in the human era.”

This epidemic, like any other similar case, requires a concerted and strong international response that can rapidly expand freely and unhindered access to trials, treatments and vaccines, while promoting widespread immunization as a public good for Available to all, including developing and less developed countries.

“When the founders of the Non-Aligned Movement met in Bandung in 1955, their goal was to review the world order and try to make constructive changes in the policy of world power in order to preserve its independent identity,” he added. Today, the world is in transition and the NAM must interpret and explain the international realities correctly, and in the coming years, adopt and implement appropriate approaches and strategies with the aim of strengthening its international standing.

Safari stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran has consistently demonstrated its commitment to the values ​​and principles of the Non-Aligned Movement. We continue to support the vision of achieving a common, comprehensive, participatory and sustainable security in West Asia. In this context, we are actively participating in UN efforts to establish peace in Yemen, Syria and Afghanistan.

He added: “At the regional level, we have proposed several plans with the aim of creating the necessary space for regional dialogue in order to resolve disputes and misunderstandings.” At the global level, we have demonstrated our strong commitment to dialogue and diplomacy by actively participating in various international arenas with the aim of helping to address a variety of challenges, including the UNHCR.

Safari noted that Europe’s verbal inability to deliver on the meager economic benefits promised to our people after Trump’s illegal departure from the UN Security Council, as well as the new US administration’s hesitant doubts about abandoning the failed “maximum pressure” policy, are the main reasons for the current lack of progress. Has been in the implementation of Barjam.

Safari stressed that the unilateral and bullying actions of certain powers have led to the weakening of multilateralism and its implementation. The most serious challenge that almost all of us have faced in some way is America’s extreme unilateral adventure. This situation continues to undermine the rule of law at the international level and endangers peace and stability in all parts of the world. While some nations, especially in our region, are victims of US-made takfiri terrorism, baseless military aggression, economic terrorism, and unilateral coercion, others bear the brunt of US brutal support.

He added: “America’s hasty and chaotic plans to ensure the continued dominance of Western liberal democracy in the world centered on the US government is a fact that is not in the interests of developing countries.” It is essential that any perceived benefit of unilateral unilateral action be rejected and prevented, and that any pressure contrary to international law and the Charter of the United Nations be condemned in order to defend multilateralism.

At the end of his speech at the summit, Safari said: “Blind and unbridled support for apartheid in Palestine and the denial of the fundamental rights of the Palestinian people will further aggravate the situation of instability throughout the Middle East.” The very small number of Arab countries that accompany these policies and other US plans are betraying the Palestinian people and endangering the peace and security of the region.

Today, more than ever, it is time for the Non-Aligned Movement to form a united front to reject unilateralism and promote multilateralism, so that it can eliminate the complex challenges facing our movement through collective cooperation and collaboration.

Mehdi Safari also met today with Serbian Foreign Minister Nikola Slakovic. In this meeting, the two sides, referring to the good relations between the two countries, emphasized the promotion of cooperation in various fields, especially economic and tourism.
