Iran, France FMs meet on sidelines of UNSC meeting

New York, IRNA - Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, who is New York to attend a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in the Middle East held a meeting with his French counterpart, Stéphane Séjourné on Tuesday.

Our UN reporter informed that the meeting between the Iranian and French foreign ministers was held at the Paris representation in the United Nations and that the two top diplomats discussed bilateral, regional and international issues.

France, which is one of the five permanent members of the Security Council and holds the rotating presidency of the 15-member UN body has invited foreign ministers of Iran and other countries to assess the situation in the Middle East, Palestine in particular.

During the council’s meeting, Amir-Abdollahian is set to deliver a speech in which he will explain the stance of his country on the current developments in West Asia, including the ongoing Israeli genocidal war on the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.  

In December, the United Nations General Assembly approved a resolution with an overwhelming 153 votes which called for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza.

Despite international pressure, the UN Security Council, with five permanent members and 10 non-permanent members, has not been able to stop the Israeli war on the Gaza Strip or establish a ceasefire there as the US has vetoed several such resolutions in favor of Israel. Washington and its western allies also keep backing Israel with money and weapons and turn and blind eye to bloodshed of Palestinians in Gaza.
