Strongly condemning the US to move to hinder Iran’s hosting of the IMO event, Kanaani said on Friday that the US move with the UK’s support showed that there are no limits to the political exploitation of technical and specialized institutions of the United Nations by this country, even if it leads to a reduction in the international credibility of these organizations.
The US once again demonstrated its coercive and arrogant nature by hindering Iran's hosting of the annual meeting of the World Maritime Day, he said, adding that the annual meeting of the World Maritime Day was approved by the IMO in London in 2014, and was also approved by the General Assembly of this United Nations-affiliated organization.
Referring to ignoring the majority votes of the International Maritime Organization by the US, the Iranian diplomat noted that this action faced strong opposition from many council members who voted against or abstained from the proposal, emphasizing that ignoring the organization's previous decisions would undermine its credibility.
Unfortunately, the US government wants to cover up its illegal and unjustified attempts by resorting to lies, accusations, and false statements, he highlighted.
He emphasized that the Islamic Republic of Iran, as one of the members of IMO, has always stressed its active and responsible movements in international shipping and acts according to international obligations.
