Iranian President Arrives in US for UNGA with ‘Message of Peace’
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said he aims to promote peace and security by participating in the 79th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
The Iranian president and his entourage landed in New York on Sunday evening local time to attend the UNGA79.
Speaking to reporters upon his arrival, Pezeshkian said, “On behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran, we convey the message of peace and security and efforts at the materialization of the UN’s this year’s theme about peace and a future filled with security and development for all people.”
Pezeshkian stressed that wars, bloodshed and massacre must be replaced by a world in which human beings can live comfortably irrespective of their color, race, ethnicity and region.
“Sadly, the world we’re living in today is not like that. There are double standards that divide people into good and bad. Therefore, problems arise which we’re witnessing,” he said.
He emphasized that all people worldwide must have equal living opportunities.
The Iranian president is scheduled to address the UNGA meeting on Tuesday, September 24.
He also plans to hold meetings with Iranian expatriates residing in the US, leaders of religions, media managers, and members of American think tanks.
Pezeshkian will also speak at the Summit of the Future, an event aimed at forging new consensus on meeting the needs of current and future generations.
The theme of the UNGA79, identified by its president, is "unity in diversity, for the advancement of peace, sustainable development and human dignity for everyone everywhere”.
