Iran Press/ Iran news: Upon his arrival in Tehran from his three-day trip to South Africa on Friday, Iran's President held a presser on his trip and achievements.
Emphasizing on the balanced foreign policy of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ebrahim Raisi told the press that Iran faces unfinished cases one of which is the neutralization of sanctions on the Iranian nation and addressing defected ties with some of the neighboring countries.
He said the issue was partly pursued by the membership of the country in such transregional organizations as BRICS and Shanghai Cooperation Organization.
President Raisi said that the membership of Iran in BRICS is not an accidental issue nor a privilege for internal partisan competitions, but to ensure the benefit of the Iranian nation.
He referred to BRICS as a forum where the independent countries enhance their cooperation for shoring up especially their economic ties through such mechanisms as the BRICS fund, which in turn would lead to strengthening the resilient economy in Iran against the West's sanctions.
The Iranian president highlighted the anti-colonialism soul spread across Africa, especially the anti-apartheid soul, which brings Iran and the countries closer to each other to strengthen their economy and the fight against colonialism.
