Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi, who is in Brazil to attend the 17th BRICS Summit, has delivered a speech at the event outlining Iran’s position on strengthening multilateralism, economic-financial cooperation and AI.

Araghchi underlined the need for structural reforms in the UN to align the body with today’s global realities. He blamed the inaction of the UN Security Council regarding violations and threats to peace on the selective and destructive approach of certain member states.
The foreign minister called for the enhancement of South-South cooperation, the empowerment of regional organizations, and the promotion of dialogue among nations as a counterbalance to hegemonic discourses.

While slamming economic sanctions and unilateral coercive measures as tools of pressure against independent states, Araghchi demanded the creation of a legal mechanism within BRICS to monitor and counter such actions in international forums.

The top Iranian diplomat further spoke about the significance of emerging technologies and modern sciences, including AI, in the economic growth of the Global South.
He stressed we need to unify in confronting the excuses made by certain governments to deprive our nations of their fundamental rights to access science and technology.
Elsewhere during his speech, Araghchi underscored the necessity of condemning the military aggression by the Zionist regime and the US against Iran.
The foreign minister said, “These days, the people of Iran are mourning their loved ones, including women and children, who were martyred as a result of the brutal aggression by the Zionist regime, with the support, cooperation, and ultimately participation of the US. This military aggression occurred solely because Iran sought to obtain a technology and science, namely nuclear technology, for peaceful purposes".

In the end, Araghchi thanked the BRICS member states for condemning the aggression by Israel and the US against Iran in paragraph 21 of the summit’s declaration.16:37
