Diplomat praises Iran’s application of an “active and multilateral” diplomatic approach during the annual Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Summit in China.

The Iranian and Russian presidents have underscored the importance of deepening relations through implementing the comprehensive strategic partnership treaty between their countries.

SCO supports Iran with its final summit declaration set to oppose the European troika’s "selective" interpretation of Resolution 2231, a senior Iranian official says.

Iran says the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) plays a positive role in ensuring the continuity of an international order based on multilateralism and the rule of law.

The Iranian president urges the Shanghai Cooperation Organization to take practical steps to promote peace and economic cooperation in the world.

For Iran, which joined as a full member only recently, the SCO presents a platform to not only expand trade but also learn from advanced diplomatic and economic practices within a cooperative multilateral framework.

Senior Fellow at Pangoal Institution, Qinduo Xu, says China wants to share its idea of a new world order in which all nations are treated as equals.
