Tbilisi, March 30 /Xinhua/ — International rating agency Moody's forecasts economic growth in Georgia in 2026 at 6 percent. Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Vakhtang Tsintsadze announced this on Monday, citing the agency's data.

"Moody's has completed its periodic review of Georgia's sovereign rating. The agency's statement notes that the country's macroeconomic and fiscal indicators remain strong despite external shocks," noted V.

As Ding Xuexiang, also a member of the Standing Committee of the Politburo of the CPC Central Committee, noted, the establishment of the WOD is an important event that meets the development trends of the intellectual age and deepens international cooperation in the field of data.

The Chinese President sent a special congratulatory letter on the occasion of the establishment of the WOD, which fully demonstrates his sincere expectations for this organization, Ding Xuexiang emphasized.

He said China supports the development and strengthening of the digital economy and the exploration of its role in bridging the digital divide, unlocking the value of data, and promoting the prosperity of the digital economy, which will contribute to jointly creating a beautiful digital future.

Tehran, March 30 (Xinhua) — Relevant Iranian institutions, including parliament, are considering Iran's withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Iran's semi-official Tasnim news agency reported on Monday.

As the agency pointed out, it is becoming increasingly clear to Iran that there is no reason for further participation in the NPT.

Under the NPT, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) must create conditions to protect and support Iran in its use of peaceful nuclear technologies and provide the necessary tools. It notes that there are no grounds for continued participation in the NPT, as the IAEA "tacitly encourages the enemy to use nuclear weapons against Iranian nuclear facilities, while the United States and Israel carry out hostile attacks on the country's facilities without any obstruction or condemnation from the Agency."

According to Tasnim, Iran's withdrawal from the treaty does not mean a transition to the creation of nuclear weapons, but is aimed at preventing further "espionage" by the US and Israel under the cover of IAEA inspectors.

Commenting on Iran's possible withdrawal from the NPT at a weekly press conference on Monday, Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei said the Islamic Republic remains a party to the treaty and is committed to its obligations under it.

Iran has never sought to develop nuclear weapons and does not intend to do so, he noted, adding that the country's position on the ban on the creation of weapons of mass destruction is clear.

However, according to E. Baghaei, Iran is considering withdrawing from the IAEA, in particular due to its “extremely unfair” approach and the “destructive” behavior of the United States and some of the agency’s member states, which have been infringing on Tehran’s rights over the past few years. –0–
