Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s ambassador to international organizations based in Vienna, said comprehensive, multilateral, coordinated and extensive support should be offered to countries which need assistance to cope with the virus.

“We voice deep concern over the serious repercussion of the coronavirus for many developing countries, including vulnerable nations and those facing serious challenges which are out of their control,” said Gharibabadi at conference of United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) held via videoconferencing.
He said the disease deeply affects the ability of these countries to tackle COVID-19 as well as investment in the implementation of sustainable development plans.

The top diplomat said fighting the coronavirus requires global cooperation and solidarity.

“We are still seeing unilateral sanctions being used against countries, which is a flagrant violation of the objectives and principles of the UN Charter, international and human rights as well as the principles of multilateralism and norms of diplomacy and international relations,” he said.

Gharibabadi noted the campaign against the coronavirus pandemic is a global one.
He also urged UNIDO to work closely with other UN bodies to help with efforts to reach out to countries needing support to fight the coronavirus.

Taher Mouhebati said the Iranian Presidential Office will pursue the matter.

“Sanctions have affected people’s health at different levels,” said Mouhebati, the deputy head of the health ministry for legal, parliamentary and provincial affairs.

“This issue is being pursued by the Legal Department of the Presidential Office, and the health ministry, too, has provided the department with the necessary documents to follow up on the matter at international bodies,” he added.

He noted sanctions have impeded the procurement of medical equipment and medicines needed to tackle the coronavirus outbreak.

He said if domestic companies were not able to produce the necessary medical devices, “we would really run into problems.”

The official noted that the supply of vaccines is very important as well because it is directly related with people’s health.

Brigadier General Amir Hatami said on Monday the vessel is the result of considerable progress made by the Armed Forces in recent decades.

“The destroyer Dena, which is a completely Iranian vessel, is different from destroyers of the same generation in terms of facilities, equipment and performance,” said the defence chief at a ceremony held via videoconferencing to mark National Basij Week.

He said Iran has developed the vessel despite facing the toughest and most hostile sanctions in the defence domain.

“During this very period, we designed, produced and handed over to the Armed Forces the most effective defence equipment,” he noted.

Speaking at the sixth session of ESCAP’s Committee on Transport held in the Thai capital of Bangkok, Iran’s delegate Hajjarzadeh highlighted the necessity of paying attention to the objectives of sustainable development in the transport sector.

Hajjarzadeh, who is the Iranian Ministry of Roads and Transportation’s representative to ESCAP, proposed several plans, namely the “establishment of a land link between Asia and Europe” and “policies to boost the sustenance of the global supply chain.”

He also introduced projects on the construction of highways and dry ports based on the country’s comprehensive transport plan as well as the test document for the logistics centres across the nation. It was then decided that Iran’s proposals to improve highway, rail and dry port networks be sent to the Secretariat of ESCAP to be reviewed.

Iran’s representative also presented a plan for a project on electronic exchanges and processes for the coordination of customs affairs with neighbouring countries. The plan is currently being implemented as a pilot scheme.

He also put forward plans to introduce an integrated framework agreed by all member states which would encompass all aspects of international trade and transport as well as other global moves.

He added all international corridors should be taken into account in order to enhance the sustenance of the supply chain, especially the corridors to the south of the Caspian Sea.

Dead Whale Washed Ashore on Iran’s Kish Island

Authorities say the skeleton of the whale will be taken to the marine life museum on the island in the future.

“Initial studies failed to shed light on the cause of the death of this whale,” said Maryam Mohammadi, the head of the Environment Office of Kish Island.

“Because around five days had passed since the Whale’s death, and no injury was observed on the corpse of the whale, and the carcass was decomposing, it was impossible to find the exact cause of death,” she noted.

The official underlined the 14.5-metre-long female whale is a Bryde’s whale, which is listed on Appendix II of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals.
This type of whale is estimated to weigh five tonnes.

The quadrennial ministerial pledging conference is co-hosted by Afghanistan, Finland, and the United Nations, and will take place on November 23 and 24.

The conference is an important opportunity for Afghanistan and the international community to commit to common objectives for promoting sustainable development, prosperity and peace in the country, according to UNAMA.
