The Iran Project
: Iran’s foreign minister has called for efforts to further strengthen the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO) and expand economic cooperation between member states.
The Islamic Republic of Iran has been holding the rotating presidency of ECO for the past year and has seriously focused its efforts on advancing the important goals of this large regional organization in order to develop consensus and transcendence among the people of the region and ECO, he noted.
He expressed hope that the foreign officials attending the summit will take note of Khorasan Razavi province’s abundant economic, commercial, tourism, agricultural, national and regional potential during their stay in the provincial capital, Mashhad.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Araghchi said the meeting is an opportunity to discuss regional and global developments.
For more than a year, we have been witnessing the unbridled and brutal crimes of the Zionist regime against the people of Gaza and Lebanon in the region and the world, he said.
