He further noted that the committee feels itself obliged to support talks on these topics.
Maurer also hoped that the institution would organize further dialogues with Iranian officials about humanitarian challenges originating from growing violence in certain Middle Eastern regions.
In a meeting with the head of Iran Red Crescent Society, he expressed satisfaction with the level of cooperation between the committee and the entity.
Maurer ended his three-day visit to Tehran today. During his stay in the capital, he met Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and other Iranian officials, discussing humanitarian issues and implementation of international humanitarian law.
This was Maurers second trip to Tehran after he was elected as president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) in August 2012.
ICRC is a humanitarian institution based in Geneva, Switzerland and a three-time Nobel Prize Laureate.
