Iran, Belarus sign MOU on defense coop
The defense ministers of Iran and Belarus have inked a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on defense cooperation on Monday.

The MoU was signed in the meeting between Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Ashtiani and his Belarusian counterpart Viktor Gennadievich Khrenin, who is on a visit to Tehran, on Monday.

Referring to the common views of the two countries on many regional and international issues, Ashtiani said that Belarus has a special place in the foreign policy of Iran.

He added that the 15th Iran-Belarus joint economic commission which was held in Minsk last year, indicates the will of both sides to activate all cooperation potentials.

He stated that promoting bilateral cooperation in all dimensions is a strategic requirement to overcome the sanctions policy of Western countries against independent countries like Iran and Belarus.

Pointing to the regional wars in Syria and Iraq as well as the Ukraine crisis, the Iranian minister noted that such changes indicate the transition of the world to a new geometry and international order.

"Independent countries are not only unwilling to accept a unipolar and hierarchical global system, but also seek a greater role in global governance and aspire to participate actively in this field," he added.
