Iran's Araghchi: Sustainable Security Requires Regional Dialogue, Not Foreign Intervention
Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi says lasting security in the region depends on cooperation among neighboring states rather than the presence of foreign military powers.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said sustainable security can only be achieved through dialogue, confidence-building, cooperation and mutual respect among regional countries, according to a report by IRNA, Iran's state news agency.
Araghchi rejected what he described as the presence and intervention of foreign military powers in the region, IRNA reported, without providing further details on the specific context or forum in which the remarks were made.
The foreign minister's comments reflect a position long held by Iranian officials, who have repeatedly called for regional security arrangements to be managed by countries within the region itself, rather than relying on external military powers.
IRNA did not elaborate on additional details of Araghchi's statement, including the specific occasion or any further remarks he may have made.
