Tehran, IRNA – Nicaragua’s Foreign Minister Denis Moncada underscored that the downfall of the United States is approaching because the world is on the verge of a new shift of objectives.

The foreign minister made the remarks at the Third Tehran Dialogue Forum (TDF 2022) on Monday, noting that since the world is on the verge of multilateralism promoted by independent governments and seeks change of goals, the US is approaching its collapse.

As to the war in Ukraine, he said that the US administration has violated international law because it used the European Union and Ukraine as a tool to threaten Russia and the Russian border, so Washington has endangered international peace and security.

He also underlined that the condition is ripe for ending imperialistic dictation and that the TDF 2022 can pave the way for cooperation among world nations to achieve this goal.

Moncada further expressed gratitude to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s government and Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian for organizing the TDF 2022, conveying the greeting of Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega to the Iranian authorities.

Both Iran and Nicaragua keep hoisting the flags of justice-seeking for mankind, the Nicaraguan top diplomat added.

The Third Tehran Dialogue Forum opened in the presence of foreign minister of Iran as well as political officials, ambassadors, chairpersons of think tanks, and thinkers from 36 countries.

The forum also known as the TDF 2022 started work at the Institute for Political and International Studies of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran on Monday morning.

Nearly 70 figures are scheduled to take part in the TDF 2022. Directors of Iran-based think tanks, ambassadors, and foreign diplomats residing in Tehran attend the forum.

Following the opening ceremony, four meetings will be held to pave the ground for reviewing the latest developments in West Asia and security in the Persian Gulf, regional connections and energy security, the crisis in Ukraine and its regional and international consequences, and the outlook of peace and inclusive government in Afghanistan.

The first and second rounds of the Tehran Dialogue Forum were held in January 2020 and in March 2021 respectively.
