President Raeisi: Iran, India can play role in changes resulting from emerging world order
Iran's President Ebrahim Raeisi says the Islamic Republic and India can influence the changes caused by the new world order that is currently emerging.
Raeisi made the remark in a Monday meeting with the visiting National Security Advisor of India Ajit Doval.
During the meeting, Raeisi emphasized that global conditions are changing and a new world order is emerging.
“In the course of the ongoing global changes, regional and international organizations, especially the Shanghai Cooperation Organization and the BRICS [group of countries] can be very effective in view of their remarkable power and resources,” Iran's president said.
“As two influential regional countries, Iran and India can promote their relations to a new level and play a more effective role in [setting the course of] changes caused by the establishment of the new world order,” Raeisi added.
He emphasized that further strengthening of cooperation between Iran and India can not only help them meet their mutual interests, but also enable them to play a constructive role in resolving regional issues, including the issue of Afghanistan.
Doval, for his part, affirmed that the world is witnessing major changes, saying, “India believes that to have a positive impact on these changes, it needs to deepen and expand relations with its neighboring countries, especially Iran."
In a meeting with Davol in New Delhi in June, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian called for the expansion of all-out mutual ties, saying the Islamic Republic of Iran is not bound by any constraints to expand its relations with India.
He welcomed further development of cooperation between Iran and India in such areas as transportation via the South-North Corridor, investment, trade, education, research and development.
