Mottaki: World public opinion decries double-standard polices
Tehran, June 22, IRNA -- Iran's Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Monday that the world public opinion decries double-standard policies as well as rampant discriminations in global affairs.
It is unfair to back those who possess nuclear weapons to make use of the United Nations Security Council to condemn those seeking to produce nuclear energy for civilian utility, he said.
Mottaki made the remarks in a meeting with the special envoy of Nigerian government.
The Nigerian official, leading a delegation is in Iran to extend an official invitation on behalf of Nigerian president to President Ahmadinejad to attend Summit of the eight developing nations D-8 in Abuja.
Mottaki congratulated Nigeria on undertaking rotating presidency of the D-8 and said the group is of high potentials in various economic and commercial fields.
Iran is ready to play an active role in implementing development projects in D-8 member states, he said.
Mottaki strongly criticized the United Nations Security Council for inaction vis-a-vis the inhuman and savage carnage against innocent people on board Gaza flotilla at international waters.
He berated the Security Council for being used as mere tools at the hand of the veto-wielding powers to pass resolution 1929 against Iran’s peaceful nuclear program.
The world public opinion does not accept double-standard policies and the United Nations Security Council should be accountable to world public opinion, Mottaki underlined.
He said that for many years, the Americans got used to implementing their decisions but today they have to resort to language of force or enticement to attain their sinister goals although some countries have made objection to the US desire.
Current developments in Afghanistan, Iraq and the Middle East prove that the US hegemonic polices are on decline, he said.
The special envoy of Nigerian government, for his part, underlined the significant role of Iran’s contribution to the upcoming D-8 Summit and said that his country welcomes expansion of bilateral cooperation with the Islamic Republic of Iran./end
