BRICS Security meeting in Saint Petersburg: China and Iran criticize U.S. actions

At the 14th meeting of BRICS senior officials responsible for security, held on Wednesday, September 11, in Saint Petersburg, Russia, China’s Foreign Minister Wang Yi delivered a strong response to criticisms aimed at the BRICS organization.

 

Wang Yi called on member states to enhance unity and cooperation, emphasizing the importance of this economic bloc, which now accounts for over a third of global wealth.

 

He stressed the need to strengthen ties within the group to drive forward their shared goals.

 

Meanwhile, Ali Akbar Ahmadian, head of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, took the opportunity to sharply criticize the United States.

 

He accused the U.S. of using technology and science to violate the sovereignty of other nations and promote terrorism.

 

He claimed that U.S. actions, alongside those of its allies, pose a significant threat to international peace and security by fostering terrorism, particularly through extremist groups like ISIS and criminal regimes such as those governing the occupied Palestinian territories.

 

The remarks from Ahmadian came a day after the U.S. accused Iran of supplying short-range ballistic missiles to Russia for its war in Ukraine.

 

In response, Washington announced new sanctions against both Moscow and Tehran on September 10.

 

Looking ahead, the next BRICS summit is set to take place in October in Kazan, Russia.

 

It’s worth noting that the BRICS group expanded earlier this year, with the addition of Iran, Egypt, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates.

 

Saudi Arabia has also expressed interest in joining, and countries like Azerbaijan, Turkey, and Malaysia have officially applied for membership.
