Tehran, October 13 (Xinhua) — Tehran will not attend the international summit in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, dedicated to the agreement to end the war in Gaza, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi announced on Monday.
“While I advocate for diplomatic engagement, neither President /Masoud/ Pezeshkian nor I can engage with colleagues who have attacked the Iranian people and continue to threaten us and impose sanctions,” A. Araghchi stated on social media.
Iran welcomes all initiatives aimed at ending Israel's "genocide" in Gaza and ensuring the expulsion of Israeli "occupation forces," he noted.
He said the Palestinians “have every right to ensure their fundamental right to self-determination, and all States remain, and more than ever, obliged to assist them in their legitimate cause.”
He said Iran has always been and will always remain a "vital force" for peace in the region, adding that, unlike Israel, Iran does not seek "forever wars" but lasting peace, prosperity and cooperation.
Leaders from more than 20 countries will attend the summit scheduled for Monday in Sharm el-Sheikh. –0–
