Monday local time in order to participate in the 77th session of the
United Nations General Assembly.
Speaking to reporters, Ayatollah
Raisi described the visit as an opportunity to explain the views and
opinions of the Islamic Republic of Iran, and emphasised, "The United
Nations should be the organisation of the united nations, not the
organisation of powerful countries".

attending the United Nations as a suitable platform for discussing the
problems of today's world and finding collective solutions to solve
them.
Ayatollah Raisi described sanctions as a tactic of major world
powers to put pressure on other nations, and said, "Sanctions are
detrimental to nations and are in conflict with peace and security".
The
President described sanctions, terrorism and war as manifestations of
unilateralism and said, "Unilateralism causes suffering of human
societies".
