At the meeting of the CSTO PA Council in Moscow, Ebrahim Azizi, representative of the Commission on National Security and Foreign Policy of the Majlis of Iran, stated that the CSTO Parliamentary Assembly should play a significant role in the new system of international relations.
"The growing importance of the parliamentary dimension in the international relations system is reflected in the strengthening of factors ensuring security and sustainable development throughout the entire geographical area. Parliaments, using their legislative and supervisory powers, as well as political mechanisms of parliamentary cooperation, actively facilitate the necessary reforms. CSTO Parliamentary Assembly is successfully promoting new formats of cooperation in the field of collective security," the Iranian parliamentarian noted.
Ebrahim Azizi stressed that Iran is fully prepared to expand and strengthen regional parliamentary relations and welcomes all constructive initiatives in this direction.
