TEHRAN, Dec. 7 (Xinhua) — Iran supports the Shanghai Cooperation Organization's (SCO) counter-terrorism plans and cooperation efforts, a senior Iranian diplomat said.
Mehrdad Kiai, Director General for SCO and BRICS Affairs at the Iranian Foreign Ministry, made the announcement during a meeting with Ularbek Sharsheyev, Director of the Executive Committee of the SCO's Regional Anti-Terrorism Structure (RATS), on the sidelines of joint anti-terrorism exercises, the ministry said in a statement released on Saturday.
M. Kiai emphasized the central role of the SCO and RATS in Iran’s foreign policy, calling RATS “a window into the future security architecture of the region.”
According to him, Iran's experience in combating terrorism allows its security and military structures to play a "constructive and key" role in the SCO's counter-terrorism activities.
U. Sharsheyev highly praised Iran for holding the five-day Sahand-2025 exercises in East Azerbaijan Province and noted Iran’s “active and influential” participation in RATS events. –0–
