Iran will take part in the meeting of the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly, which will be held on Monday, December 5, in Moscow. A delegation of Iranian parliamentarians arrived in Russia today.
Headed by the chairman of the commission of the Majlis of the Islamic Council of Iran on national security and foreign policy, Vahid Jalalzade, landed today at the Moscow airport. As stated, the delegation plans to negotiate with Russian colleagues, as well as participate in the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly as an observer.
- the press service of the CSTO says.
It is worth noting that Iran is actively cooperating not only with Russia, but also with other CSTO countries, in particular Armenia. Judging by the available information, Tehran did not apply for membership in the CSTO. But other organizations that do not cooperate with the US and its allies, Iran seeks to join. In particular, Iran acts as an observer in the SCO - the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which acts as an alternative center for the union of countries as opposed to the pro-Western club of the GXNUMX. In September, Iran signed a memorandum of commitment to join the SCO.
Iran also applied to join the BRICS - an interstate association of five states: Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa. The current members of the organization will have to develop criteria for the entry of new countries into the organization and begin to discuss the conditions for acceptance on the basis of consensus.
