These actions have harmed regional and international security and have serious consequences for global peace and stability.

In this section, it is also stated that nuclear physical security and the protection of nuclear facilities must be permanently guaranteed, including during armed conflicts, with the aim of protecting the population and the environment from harm.

Iran is our strategic partner and we must work together seriously to strengthen the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in order to confront unilateralism. We recognize Iran's legitimate rights to peaceful nuclear use.
