Hey there! Have you ever wondered how countries talk to each other and solve big problems? Let’s find out what Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mr. Seyed Abbas Araghchi, said about some important topics!
Joining Hands with the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO)
Mr. Araghchi talked about how Iran wants to work closely with the SCO. The SCO is a group of countries that get together to help each other with safety, economy, and culture. Iran believes that by working together, countries can make the world a better place!
Hoping for Lasting Peace 🤝
Recently, there was some fighting between Iran and Israel. Mr. Araghchi said that Iran doesn’t want to fight. He mentioned that the ceasefire (a time when both sides agree to stop fighting) is fragile, which means it could break easily. But Iran hopes that peace will continue and that everyone can be friends.
Working with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)
The IAEA is a group that makes sure countries use nuclear energy safely and for good reasons, like making electricity. Iran says it wants to keep working with the IAEA to show that its nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. Mr. Araghchi said they will cooperate and follow the rules to make sure everyone feels safe.
Possibility of Talking with the United States Again 🇺🇸
In the past, Iran and the United States had an agreement called the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) about Iran’s nuclear program. But the U.S. decided to leave the deal in 2018. Now, Mr. Araghchi says Iran might be willing to talk again if the U.S. shows it really wants to find a peaceful solution and makes up for what happened before.
“Our nuclear program is only for peaceful things, like creating energy,” he said. “We are ready to talk when everyone is serious about peace.”
It’s important for countries to communicate and solve problems together. Let’s hope they can find a way to make the world a safer place for everyone!
