The Iranian official made the comment during talks with Trần Quang Phương, the vice chairman of Vietnam’s National Assembly and his accompanying delegation in Tehran.
Hosseini said that Iran is a free and independent country where people participate in the nation’s affairs. But, he added, certain countries, notorious for their crimes against humanity, are leveling accusations against Iran under different excuses including human rights.
Having faced such conditions, the official said, the Islamic Republic expects independent countries like Vietnam to stand up against those stances at international bodies.
Hosseini and the top Vietnamese lawmaker also discussed ways to expand relations between the two countries in different fields.
Trần Quang Phương said his country welcomes expansion of ties with the Islamic Republic and hailed Iran for the progress it has made over the past years despite sanctions.
