MEHR: Criticizing West moves in jeopardizing international peace and stability, the Iranian Foreign Minister said that creating a strong region in West Asia is one of the priorities of Iran's foreign policy.
The first meeting of national coordinators of the group of friends in defense of the United Nations Charter at the level of deputy foreign ministers of the member countries kicked off in Tehran on Saturday.
Speaking in the meeting, Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian said that the world community is facing increasing challenges in regional and international dimensions.
He also pointed out that the unilateralism and the hegemony of some global powers have brought unrest and instability to the international community.
Imposition of unilateral sanctions by arrogant powers is a clear violation of international law and human rights, he said, adding, "Such unilateral moves have deeply questioned the commitment of these governments to the principles of the United Nations Charter regarding the promotion and respect of human rights."
Strengthening international cooperation and joint efforts of independent countries is undoubtedly an effective way to counter the oppressive sanctions, the Iranian top diplomat noted.
