Rouhani Outlines Roadmap for Stronger Region

President Hassan Rouhani called for cooperation among six Asian states to build a more powerful region through a raft of measures he laid out at the second conference of parliament speakers of Iran, Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, Russia and Turkey in Tehran on Saturday.  
He pointed out in his speech that the challenges facing the region have an extra-territorial nature and require joint and coordinated approaches.
“For this reason, I declare Iran’s willingness to collaborate in building a stronger region, one that is free of outsiders’ dominance and relies on itself,” he said, the president’s news portal reported. 
To achieve this goal, according to President Rouhani, all six states need to put certain policies on agenda.
