Iran’s Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei on April22 held talks with Rustam Mirzozoda, Chairman of Tajikistan's Supreme Court, in Hangzhou, China on the sidelines of the 20th Meeting of the Chairs of Supreme Courts of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Member Nations.
IRNA reports that in the course of the talk, Mohseni Ejei said that in the face of regional and international challenges, a lack of cooperation among neighboring countries would lead to mutual harm; therefore, interaction among neighbors and regional countries is a fundamental principle.
He reportedly emphasized that Iran believes in collaboration and interaction with neighboring countries, particularly Tajikistan, with whom Iranians share cultural and linguistic commonalities, to address regional and global challenges.
He also said that both countries possess significant potential to expand cooperation in various sectors, including legal and judicial issues.
Regarding the Israeli regime’s genocidal war in Gaza, he said that all countries, especially Muslim countries of the region, bear responsibility for confronting the regime’s crimes. Mohseni Ejei added that the capacities of regional and international bodies, such as the SCO, should be utilized in this regard.
Mirzozoda, for his part, reportedly said that the recent visit by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Tajikistan has opened a new chapter in the relationship between the two countries and expressed readiness to expand ties with Iran in various sectors.
The shared language and culture enhance cooperation between Iran and Tajikistan, allowing the two sides to share viewpoints on numerous matters, he said.
