In a post published late Saturday on his Instagram page, Araghchi said that alongside attending the BRICS foreign ministers’ gathering in New Delhi, he held “constructive and useful” meetings with his counterparts from India, Russia, Malaysia, South Africa, Egypt, Brazil and Thailand.
The Iranian foreign minister added that he also held “valuable” meetings with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and India’s national security adviser, during which the sides discussed issues in detail.
Araghchi said he addressed the BRICS meeting on three occasions, outlining the “courage and proud resistance” of the Iranian people during the recent imposed wars by the US and Israel. He also criticized the United Nations Security Council for its inability to prevent “aggressive and unilateral actions” by the United States.
He stressed that Iran is seeking a mechanism that offers “real representation” for all continents and regions of the world, adding that Tehran believes BRICS capacities should be used to reform global governance and restore the credibility of multilateralism.
The foreign minister also said that at the end of the trip, he attended a press conference at the Iranian embassy in New Delhi, where he answered questions from Indian and international journalists.
The BRICS foreign ministers’ meeting was held in New Delhi on May 14 and 15.
