Iran’s ambassador to Russia says global energy security is currently largely determined by countries of the Global South, particularly BRICS members, according to remarks quoted by Iranian state media.
Speaking at a gathering on energy cooperation and security within the BRICS framework, Kazem Jalali called for the bloc to help shape a fairer and more stable energy order.
Jalali said geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, global market volatility, and rising demand in emerging economies have made energy security a cornerstone of global stability and development.
He said energy security goes beyond access to resources and encompasses the security of supply, demand, investment, technology, infrastructure, and finance.
The extensive capacities of BRICS member states entail shared responsibilities, and these countries must play a role in shaping a more just, stable, and inclusive global energy security system, Jalali added.
