Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi emphasized the importance of the position of the United Nations in enabling people to solve their own problems and preventing foreigners from interfering in their internal affairs. He believed that “the United Nations should be in the truest sense an organization of peoples, and not an organization of powers.”

During a meeting with UN Secretary-General António Guterres Raisi, he referred to “the current crises in some countries of the region and believed that the way to resolve them lies in the crystallization of national dialogues without foreign interference, stressing that” it is necessary that the United Nations play a more serious role in the fight with unilateral behavior.

For his part, the Secretary-General of the United Nations during this meeting expressed “recognition of the ongoing measures of the Islamic Republic of Iran to provide asylum to Afghan migrants and praised Iran’s role in the ceasefire in Yemen.” “The US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement was a very unconstructive and unfortunate step,” he added.

In a separate context, Guterres expressed “dissatisfaction with the inability to suspend sanctions on Iran despite the Corona virus”, noting that “Iran has an ancient civilization and is an integral and indisputable part of the modern world, and the considerations of the Islamic Republic to solve the problems of Yemen, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Afghanistan in the hands of its sober and rational people.
