the 24th summit of the shanghai cooperation organization is being held in astana, the capital of kazakhstan. mr. mokhbar, acting president of our country , will travel to astana, the capital of kazakhstan, tonight at the head of a high-ranking political and economic delegation. mr. shankai, let's talk, the two guests of the studio are mr. deliri and mr. shoaib bahman. i greet you, sir. you are very welcome . thank you. i am at your service and to your dear viewers . i say hello. god willing, we can have a good conversation about this matter. thank you very much mr. bahman, welcome to his talk studio , in the name of allah, the most merciful . thank you very much, according to the special news talk routine every night, let us see a report first , then come back and start tonight's discussion and program about the shanghai summit. the summit of the

shanghai cooperation organization in the capital of kazakhstan has become an opportunity to expand business relations between the members. we , the activists of the economic sector and business circles , witness that all the countries present in the form of the shanghai cooperation organization want to expand this organization as an opportunity to develop trade relations between these countries. they look and pay attention to the reduction of obstacles. the arrival of members started yesterday and today, including shijin.

and it helps to improve the structure of global governance. the members of shanghai honestly have very high economic capacities. there are mutual capacities in different departments. in the industry sector, in the technology sector, in the energy sector. well, we also have these capacities in the country, and in my opinion, our membership is for the islamic republic on the one hand and the members on the other. it can create a serious promotion of economic interactions. iran can enter the gate by actively participating in the projects of the shanghai cooperation organization and review the member states of shanghai to become. the activation of the crossings has many benefits for iran. experts predict that if we can activate these capacities, at least 5 billion dollars and up to 10 billion dollars can be generated annually for the islamic republic. and

enables direct and stable trade with shankai members. iran's participation in the meetings of this organization can speed up the process of removing the dollar from the trade transactions of the member countries. iran can also cooperate in managing the production chain to energy consumption at the shanghai organization level. so that in at the end of the recent meeting of the energy ministers of the member countries , the energy development document of this organization was approved by the members at the proposal of iran. in this document, both the discussion of production , the discussion of transmission, and the discussion of consumption are considered in the production of hydrocarbon energies, the subject of electricity , the subject of renewable energy, and the subject of nuclear energy. the importance of iran's membership in the shanghai cooperation organization also derives from the fact that wealth and power are being transferred to east and southeast asia. well, with

the introduction of this report, let us go to mr. bahman's discussion of the 24th shanghai summit in astana, kazakhstan it is currently being held. we became an official member of shanghai at the 23rd summit. now , what is the current status and rank of the islamic republic of iran at the shanghai summit according to last year's membership? martyred president and martyred minister of foreign affairs mr. raisi and mr. amir abdullahian who played a very effective role in iran's membership in the organization. having a doubt, well , this was actually a great achievement in the field of our foreign policy, especially since we were present as an observer member in this organization for many years, and well, with the arrival of these people actually accelerated the process of iran's membership in the shanghai cooperation organization, and finally

today is actually the first summit that participates as a main member in this organization. well, the fact is that the shanghai cooperation organization has significant capacities. some of them were mentioned in the report that was broadcasted. this organization has more than a quarter of the world's landmasses , it has a significant population and human resources capacity, more than 20% of the world economy in fact. the composition of this organization is present, as a rule, iran's membership is official iran also creates responsibilities and duties towards the organization, and it should

move more effectively both in the organization's planning and in the process of implementing those principles , and at the same time, a series of new capacities and positions. it creates that especially in the field of cooperation with neighboring countries and cooperation with the member countries of the shanghai cooperation organization, we can use these capacities, and part of these capacities are security, defense and political capacities anyway we can talk about it, and the other part is the economic capacity, which is good in every in fact, iran has significant capacities that it has added to shankai, and it can use its presence in shankai. regarding the goals of establishing the shankai cooperation organization, which was initially political and security, and now it has taken on economic issues and agenda, we will talk about the same point that we have mentioned , what exactly

is the capacity and benefits of this organization for the islamic republic of iran during in the last one year, from the 23rd meeting to the 24th meeting, how many of these capacities, of these potentials, of these benefits? we used it, yes, it's great, just like that which was brought up, well, the organization has had a political security approach in the past years and has a special position in the international level in this matter, but the new approach of the members towards the organization is to find economic and commercial issues. again, he looked at it from the political and security aspect, that is, if we are talking about the transit issue, the point where iran. it is supposed to and can play a role as the crossroads of the world. it is natural that it has both political issues and security issues, and its results and output will be seen in the economy and maybe in business. we can better see what benefits we can get from this issue, an

approach of the 13th government, well, it was started and shahid raisi was very emphatic about diversifying international cooperation to private economy. well , we were seeing various trips to countries in the region, to african countries, and discussing cooperation with member countries of the cheyenne cooperation organization , which was also on the agenda, and for that reason , it was important . we became the official member of the islamic republic of iran in the shanghai cooperation organization how much has this official membership caused us to exploit more or benefit more from the benefits of the achievement of the country to which we had an increase in exports last year, the ranking of pakistan, and when we look at it, we had a 40% increase in exports, or if we look at russia , we had a 30% increase in exports, now the total of

our cooperation with other countries of the shan cooperation organization, the volume of our trade is approximately 40 billion dollars , which shows that when we have pakistan in our neighbor's basket, we also have the shanghai cooperation organization in our basket, or we have russia in our eurasian and cooperation organization's basket. we have. these things make us find common interests and this is perhaps something that can be effective despite the differences that countries may have in an organization, and we can see this in the volume of trade as well as these two examples. i have given you some other examples , topics, maybe now things that are important in many standard topics, regional topics, which i will mention in the next part of my speech, mr. bahman. what

were the main political and security issues on which the shankar cooperation organization was established, now and since the time of its establishment? how much the approaches have changed and how much these changes are in line with the changes in the region and the international arena. initially , the shankai cooperation organization was more of a security and defense organization, and issues such as the fight against terrorism and the fight against separatism. drug trafficking or human trafficking was actually one of the central issues that caused the formation of this organization in the beginning, but now it has distanced itself from these issues, no, these issues are actually still on the organization 's agenda. they hold it, but it's gone by his side considering the capacities of the member countries in the shanghai cooperation organization, of course, it was at the beginning. especially countries like russia and china, and later with the joining of countries like india, pakistan and iran

, these capacities expanded to this organization. we want international structures , which anyway we are transitioning from the old order in the international sphere and in the global space. let's evaluate a new order , today we can say that shanka cooperation organization it is one of those institutions that is actually speeding up and is effective, it is effective, especially in international multilateralism. in fact, today, the point that all the member countries pay attention to is the attention to international multilateralism, distancing from a the unilateralisms that america has tried to put on the agenda in its foreign policy in the past decades, and this advancement of multilateralism has actually

become a main agenda in the shanghai cooperation organization , now a part of this multilateralism is in the field of security, and a part of it is in the fields of defense there are parts of it in the economic spheres and even parts of it in the social and cultural spheres and the increase of human interactions between the member countries of this organization, so today we can say that the shanghai cooperation organization has a new position at the level of the international system. the international community has found that although the westerners are trying more and tend to increase the military or security aspects of this organization , in fact, this organization is a multilateral organization that seeks multilateralism at the level of the international system, and this view and this approach is how much the approach of countries in convergence with the shanghai cooperation organization itself has changed. and caused them to join or apply for membership. well , today we see that not only the countries that

have had problems with the order that the americans wanted in the past years, but also some of the traditional allies of the united states and the west are participating as observer members or even applying for membership. in any case, like uae or turkey , there are countries that are traditionally known as countries close and allied to the west, and today they express their desire to be present as observer members , so that their observer membership can be improved in reality. this issue shows that the process started by the shanghai organization is attracting attention today, and different countries are willing to join this organization and move this process forward, mr. i want courage about free trade. i prefer to talk, i want to talk with you about basic goods like wheat or we can discuss

issues like corridors and the transportation sector, but before that, we had the 23rd summit , we made a series of plans, we defined a series of routes. how far have we progressed in the economic field? based on what achievements have been made for the country , if you want to give us an example , what are you referring to? thank you for your presence in the field of economy and business in the past year. well, now sometimes this issue is raised that its economic achievements are normal. of course, this is a process that takes time for countries with different interests. after all, many of these countries are neighbors and their interests are numerous and sometimes even conflict with each other. well, that's all the topics discussed here. regarding many of the economic decisions that have been made, the commercial issues that

have been raised, well, last year, we saw the official presence of iran in you. the first meeting in which one of our ministers was the minister of trade was held in kyrgyzstan and iran was also present. various documents were approved by the members, including the discussion of electronic sales. well, there are various issues that are being discussed in its implementation, both warehousing and logistics discussions. it is constantly being followed up during the year in expert meetings.

we can share something in the organization with the countries that i mentioned in my first discussion and now bilaterally let us pursue a series of issues bilaterally with these member countries. this can increase up to 5 to 10 billion dollars in the medium term to add to the volume of our trade with these countries. trade is very important. i would like to give an example that you should find a mentality. for example , in the field of medical equipment and medicine, when you want to export these products to different countries , there are many standards in the world. for example, suppose that the european union has standards, we have regional standards. we also have

as a result, suppose it is an easy area, if we can go there, the governor. should we compile it or has it been compiled ? we can get that standard for our product . naturally, we have a big market at our disposal since last year when we took a step on the economic path and in this permanent membership . have we started these issues? previously, the same topics have been discussed in the organization , and iran itself has put forward some initiatives there, that is , in the industrial fields, in the trade fields, and it is following up in the energy field . as it is, these other issues have now been completely implemented, which means that we have known the structure of the organization in one year. naturally, in the coming years, we must play a role as an active and proactive member. it is one of the issues that you must follow. and on the agenda of the organization is also the issue of preferential definitions. well, we

have been following up on the issue of the trade agreement with indonesia in the last two to three years, as well as the issue of trade.

they are experiencing troubled times and political and security challenges, how much of their capacity and potential to advance political and security goals and solve are they using these worries and challenges or getting help? first, i would like to make a point about the economic issue. you see, before we even became a member of the shanghai cooperation organization , we had economic relations with all the member countries present in this organization. these relations must find a significant leap at once or change at all. no, these relations have already existed , as a rule, our membership in this organization.

it appears that i imagine that, for example, by becoming a member of the shanghai cooperation organization, we should suddenly have an economic relationship, in fact, a significant leap in to have economic relations with these countries , which is actually not true with the situation we had before membership. this perception is wrong, but in any case, today the process of global developments has gained a significant speed and we actually have various issues in the global developments, and these various issues were also on the agenda of the shanghai cooperation organization in the past summits, for example. an issue such as the akran war or even the gaza war or other developments that are actually going on at the international level have always been among the issues that are considered in the shanghai cooperation organization. taken and mentioned or even the developments that

we finally witnessed in afghanistan in recent years , the transformation in the political system of this country, these are all among the common concerns of the countries that are actually members of the shanghai cooperation organization, so they are a series of regional issues, that is, in areas. around shanghai, we have a series of issues that require a regional approach to solve them, such as this issue or the issue of afghanistan, which was recently held in tehran with the participation of most of the member countries of the shanghai cooperation organization. and to advance the process of the afghanistan issue in fact, it is helping significantly. this regional meeting and one field are also the field of international issues that exist today at the world level, and it is necessary for the shanghai cooperation organization to come to them and take effective measures. by the way, this meeting that is actually being held is a meeting

that is supposed to review and review the process of the shanghai cooperation organization and draw a new perspective in view of the developments that we are witnessing at the international level today. we are observing in decisions for future macro trends in the shanghai cooperation organization should be adopted and make the organization's future directions more clear regarding many international issues . let's go to the transport sector and the corridors. the negotiations that have been held to expedite them. what is our position now ? mireh is one of the main proposals and initiatives of the islamic republic. it can be followed in the cooperation organization, the creation of the corridor and the more important issue of the investment of other countries is in this discussion, now the discussion of connecting

the ports can be raised here and the logistics bases that can be invested in the discussion. if other countries come, it means that we have the discussion here, we have to follow the creation, as well as the investment discussion of the other countries' investment here . this year , the new investment working group was held at the suggestion of iran and hosted by iran. in tehran , it was with exactly the same approach, the introduction of the capacities that have the ability to invest, and the corridor discussions , well, the corridor discussions, we are discussing the north-south corridor of chabahar port in the media. it has been discussed many times and we heard that, naturally, that view of the organization can help him even here we can have company so that we can

take advantage of these opportunities. the discussion of the joint financing fund for petrochemical projects is now downstream and upstream . well, we are the largest energy producers in the organization, and i am the largest consumer in the organization. there are, well, the issue of energy and oil and gas can be an opportunity for us, as well as the issue of petrochemical products. now, if appropriate investment happens here, naturally, we can get the necessary interest in the business sector. mr. bahmand, one of the challenges in the economic sector it is brought up now if we distance ourselves a little from the political and security issues it is that in order to increase our trade in the shanghai cooperation organization , we are on the side of strong traders with countries that are actually former trading partners such as russia and china , so we must strengthen our own dimensions and not neglect

the solutions of small trading partners. one of the features that the shanghai cooperation organization and even the brics group has, and it actually distinguishes them from western structures or western institutions and organizations, is that the members have a completely equal position in the structure of these organizations, and equal votes. and they have the same effective power while we are like that. decisions are made by countries like germany and france, but there is no such thing in the shankai cooperation organization, because this organization was basically established on the basis of mutual respect and equal rights among all members . it applies to all members. that they can

expand their relations with different countries. the important point here is that we need to raise our standards in some areas. in the area of ​​corridors , we need to have a macro strategy. we have to have big strategies and in this field we should definitely focus on investing in our infrastructure and construction projects in the field of road construction so that we can build relationships. let's expand our economy with the countries of the region. at the same time, we should not forget that we had significant relations with many of these member countries of the shankai organization in the past, and in general, many of these countries are defined in iran's civilizational and cultural sphere, such as the countries of central asia that we have with all we had relatively good economic relations with them in the past years we have the capacity to

have relations with each country in the region. let's develop our economy, but on the condition that we can use our own internal capacities, how much this 24th summit will mutually strengthen and activate these capacities. it should be reviewed, but the more important issue is the use of our own internal capacities than the summit of the shankai organization. in some areas, we must activate these capacities in the form of a final minute and the path ahead with attention regarding the 24th meeting in the economic field, i think that in the economic and commercial field, something that can open the way for us at least in the short term, the organization has decisions, and now , as explained by mr. doctor , it is going to be reviewed especially in this meeting. discussions of strategies and decisions should be made. we should follow the

specific approach with the members of the organization, apart from the multilateral issue and multilateral cooperation , in the short term, we should follow the bilateral issues under the goals of the organization, and the rest of the members should rejoin those goals or join those mechanisms because at least we are you we sometimes see conflicts in the field of trade and the field of economy, and as a result, it is possible that sometimes countries that

in the name of allah, the most merciful, the most merciful, in the name of god, whose memory is peaceful and whose hearts are at peace. hello dear and respected viewers. welcome to the world today. i am vahid modareszadeh and i am with you by reviewing the most important news and developments in the world. the 24th summit of the shanghai cooperation organization started today in astana, kazakhstan. acting president also attended s
