To expand on what was said above, you just need to pre-tin the wire, and the terminal which looks to be done already. Then put a little tin on your iron, and touch the iron on top of the wire pressing down onto the terminal. The heat should flow with the solder on the iron, it'll heat the wire, then it'll heat the terminal.
