Asia Cooperation Dialogue: An opportunity to deepen intra-Asian cooperation, interactions
Ali Bagheri Kani
Iran’s acting foreign
minister
On Sunday and Monday, Tehran will host the meeting of foreign ministers from member states of the Asia Cooperation Dialogue (ACD). Ministers and senior officials from the 35 countries, along with heads of regional and multilateral Asian organizations, will be in attendance.
This significant multilateral event takes place while the Islamic Republic of Iran mourns the loss and martyrdom of two leaders in multilateral diplomacy, President Ayatollah Raisi and Foreign Minister Dr. Amir-Abdollahian. The upcoming meeting in Tehran was planned with the high vision and support of these two esteemed individuals.
The current Iranian government has shown a serious and remarkable commitment, led by the martyred president and foreign minister, to diversify interactions and reduce reliance on the West by focusing on the East. This approach aims to strengthen Asian identity and ultimately ensure that good-neighborliness policies contribute to collective development and security.
