Iran is ready to play an active, constructive and responsible role alongside member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref said in a message to the EAEU Intergovernmental Council’s meeting, IRNA reports.

Aref said Iran was prepared to become an active, reliable and long-term partner in expanding economic and regional cooperation with the bloc. His message was delivered Friday evening in Minsk by Iran’s ambassador to Belarus, Mohsen Omid-Zamani, at a meeting attended by the union’s prime ministers and senior officials.

Aref said growing links between political and economic security underscored the importance of multilateralism, mutual respect and equal rights among nations. He described the EAEU as an important platform for regional cooperation.
