FM: Iran, Russia, China in Consensus on Grave Danger to Multilateralism by US Actions

“On my final trip of this decade, consensus among Iran, Russia and China that multilateralism is in grave danger due to US actions and US violations have jeopardized JCPOA and international security,” Zarif wrote on his twitter page from Beijing on Tuesday.

He added that the three countries are also in this belief that the “only way E3/EU can save JCPOA is to stop posturing and begin fulfilling their own obligations”.

Zarif had also in October criticized some Western countries, specially the US, for applying unilateral policies against other nations, reminding that world issues will have no solutions unless they are addressed collectively.

“Multilateralism has become a must for the human community, and the world cannot survive without taking multilateralism into consideration,” Zarif said, addressing the International Conference on “Unilateralism and International Law” which was held in Tehran.

The top diplomat slammed some Western countries for their unilateral policies towards other nations, saying, “Neither do all realities happen in the West nor can the West make every decision about the world’s developments.”

He highlighted the crucial role multilateralism plays in today’s world, saying the human community will not be able to survive unless it addresses world issues collectively.

Zarif stressed that Iran has always been steadfast in multilateralism since the world needs to collectively address the issues at the international arena.

The imposition of the will of a single power over all other nations is an existential threat for everyone, he added.
