Iran says SCO is vital force for multilateralism as global order faces challenges
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Friday the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) was a “vital force for genuine multilateralism” at a time when “aggressive unilateralism” was undermining international law.
“We are in Cholpon-Ata, Kyrgyzstan, to participate in the meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Member States,” Baghaei wrote on X.
“Iran attaches great importance to the SCO and similar multilateral arrangement, which represent a vital force for genuine multilateralism in an era when aggressive unilateralism, breach of inter-state agreements and unlawful use of force are badly undermining the foundational principles of the rule of law and the UN Charter-based legal order,” he said.
