In his speech addressed to the participant to the 37th Islamic Unity Conference, Amir-Abdollahian stressed Iran welcomes the new page in its relations with other countries though the benefits of Palestine and rejection of the illegal Israeli regime should be put first, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
The meeting of Iranian Foreign Minister with the participants to the 37th Islamic Unity Conference was held at Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Tehran on Monday night.
Amir-Abdollahian said,” Based on scientific studies, the world order is subject to developments. In this new order, the US who struggled to safeguard its unilateralism as a global superpower, is still maintaining its hegemonic traits though it is incapable of carrying them out.”
According to the Iranian Foreign Minister an instance of the US incapability to promote its hegemony is assassination of Iran’s IRGC counter-terror commander Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani.
He referred to the endeavors by envoys from the then US president Donald Trump to dissuade Iran from a retaliatory move to martyrdom of General Soleimani, even to trade that with lifting a number of anti-Iran sanctions.
Iranian Foreign Minister said,” Tehran’s response to all demands that aimed to dissuade the Islamic Republic from its decision to retaliate was rejection” and added,” Iran inflicted the necessary blow to the US by targeting Ain al-Assad base, which was a key US military base in Iraq.”
Amir-Abdollahian stated that the US is incapable of promoting its hegemony which counts as an instance of changing world order and an opportunity for the world of Islam.
He said,” The world is passing through a key era in its history and that multiplies the responsibility of scholars and thinkers across the globe.”
Top Iranian official also referred to an improvement in Iran-Egypt relations and expressed hope that they would lead to positive changes in mutual relations between the two nations.
He stressed the expansion of ties with Egypt and Al-Azhar University will leave positive effects in relations within Muslim world.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian also hailed two initiations by Iranian President Ebrahim Raeisi in his speech at the General Assembly of the United Nations: holding a copy of holy Qur’an and the proposal on global solidarity with family.
He said that Iran is pursuing ways to develop the latter into a global campaign.
Iran’s Foreign Minister lauded the efforts by Hujjat-ul-Islam Hamid Shahriari in line with organizing the 37th Islamic Unity Conference and commemorated the former secretary generals of World Forum for Proximity of Islamic Schools of Thought.
Iranian Foreign Minister hosted the Iranian and foreign guests to the 37th Islamic Unity Conference, officials and the organizers of the annual conference on Monday night.
The meeting was held on the last day of the Islamic Unity Conference 2023, which was held on September 28 to October 2nd.
