President Ebrahim Raisi said the “new Asia” in the emerging world needs cooperation to design an endogenous model for independent countries to deal with security, economic, media and cyber challenges.
Raisi made the remarks in an address to the 6th Conference on Interaction and Confidence Building Measures in Asia (CICA) in Astana on Thursday, President.ir reported.
Designing such a model “is especially important in creating a common financial system and using regional currencies, designing norms and rules for fighting terrorism, and also strengthening media cooperation,” he said.
He stressed that the bullying powers who have taken the world financial system hostage and are engaged in looting the wealth of nations cannot be a reliable partner in shaping the emerging order.
Raisi also said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran condemns and confronts terrorism in any form, including economic terrorism which seeks to block the economic development of independent countries,” adding that persistent and collective cooperation is required to combat economic terrorism as a threat to the entire world.
The president said the world today “needs a more effective role of regional mechanisms to create more opportunities for the objective interaction of international players and the peaceful settlement of regional and global issues.”
Definitely, he underlined, Iran will be a steadfast partner in pursuing and strengthening “multilateralism based on justice.”
He reiterated that Tehran believes in securing common interests of independent countries through cooperation and will continue this strategy regardless of international developments.
“This approach will increase cooperation among governments, welfare of nations and regional confidence,” the president noted.

He said CICA, as an effective mechanism, has played an unparalleled role in promoting peace, security and sustainable development among Asian nations since it is based on mutual trust, common interests, equality and respect for cultural diversities.
The top official warned that unilateralism continues to destabilize countries, hinder their progress, and block convergence among independent nations.
“This important issue indicates that convergence and security in Asia are not compatible with the interests of hegemonic countries and any attempt to destabilize independent nations has goals and consequences beyond national geographies, and in fact, aims to target the stability and prosperity of regional countries,” he said.
Speaking to reporters on Wednesday before leaving Tehran, Raisi had emphasized that active cooperation with regional and trans-regional organizations is a key part of his administration’s foreign policy.
“Cooperation with these organizations is a good opportunity and can strengthen convergence, neighborliness and multilateralism,” he said, adding that cooperation with organizations such as CICA can provide an opportunity for Iran to make use of Asia’s economic infrastructure.
CICA is defined as a multi-national forum for enhancing cooperation toward promoting peace, security and stability in Asia and is based on the recognition that there is a close link between peace, security and stability in Asia and in the rest of the world.
