Kazem Jalali, Iran’s ambassador to Russia, highlighted the achievements of Iran’s first year of BRICS membership. He stated that this year, Iran’s inaugural year in the organization, Russia, as a close ally and neighbor, chaired BRICS. Iran actively participated at the highest level in all BRICS cooperation efforts and significant events, leveraging its close relationship with Russia.
Jalali further explained, “BRICS represents a challenge to the current structure of international power. This alliance seeks to establish a world governed by power pluralism. Some BRICS members, like Iran, are particularly focused on creating fairness in the management of the international system, ensuring that all nations can contribute according to their global weight.”

He continued, “In a unipolar world, everyone must align with American values or liberal democracy. We see the damage this approach has caused globally. Naturally, Iran’s expectations align with those of countries like Russia and China.”
Jalali emphasized the need for BRICS nations to work together to shape the emerging global order. “The West has defined all the standards of the current world and even established international organizations according to their preferences. Why shouldn’t BRICS do the same? For example, creating our own banking systems to replace SWIFT or developing cooperation in energy and anti-terrorism efforts,” he added.

Jalali also expressed hope that the upcoming BRICS summit in Kazan will yield positive results for the world, stressing that key issues, such as the situation in Palestine and Lebanon, must be addressed by BRICS members, particularly regarding the brutal killings by the Israeli regime.
