Iran views maintaining and boosting relations with BRICS member countries as a priority, speaker of the Iranian parliament Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf told the meeting of the BRICS Parliamentary Forum.
"Iran and the republic’s parliament understand that supporting and strengthening relations with BRICS member countries, including this grouping’s development, is of paramount importance to them," Ghalibaf said.
According to him, Iran is ready to work jointly with BRICS member countries toward attaining common goals, Ghalibaf said, and events like the BRICS Parliamentary Forum help propel such cooperation.
"The BRICS Parliamentary Forum is a very important instrument to develop international relations, influence this world, and establish a new world order that would be more open, transparent and would result in more effective cooperation between our countries," Ghalibaf said.
