AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran's President stated that we have made every effort to reach the causes of this accident from the first moment, and we will inform the public opinions of the world about any results we find out, adding, "Iran welcomes any international cooperation within the framework of international law for the clarification of the incident and will provide all consular facilities for this purpose".
President Hassan Rouhani spoke with the Prime Minister of Canada Justin Trudeau by telephone late on Saturday and expressed regret over the Ukrainian plane crash that killed passengers on the flight, adding, "Useful investigations into the causes of the incident have been done and follow-up investigations are being carried out quickly and accurately until the final result is reached".
The president added, "The accident was painful and sad for the people of Iran, Canada and other nations whose nationals were on the plane".
Dr Rouhani said, "From the first moment we made every effort to find the causes of the crash and we will make any other outcome that we reach step by step available to the world public opinions".
The President said that he had issued the necessary instructions to continue the necessary technical and legal investigations, saying, "Iran welcomes any international cooperation within the framework of international law to clarify this incident and will provide all consular facilities for this purpose. And we are ready for the foreign ministers of Iran and Canada to continue their talks".
Dr Rouhani added, "I am interested in the continuation of relations between the two countries in the future to contribute to the well-being of Iranians living in Canada and for the benefit of both nations, as well as on various issues of mutual interest, including peace and regional security".
The president said that today's security in the sensitive Middle East has reached a dangerous state due to US intervention and actions, saying, "Iran has proposed the Hormuz Peace Endeavour (HOPE) Initiative with the aim of reducing the tension, and everybody should work to restore full stability and security in the region".
Referring to the undesirable effects of insecurity in the region and the assassination of General Soleimani, as a popular commander, by the US on the nations of the region, Dr Rouhani said, "The solution to the stability and security of the region and people's peace is for everyone to return to the law and we believe that the security of this region will only be reached by regional countries".
During the phone call the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed condolences over the death of the Iranian nationals in the Ukrainian plane crash, saying, "We must work together to determine the cause of the accident".
The Prime Minister of Canada expressed readiness to cooperate with Iran in conducting the necessary investigations on the incident, saying, "I hope that in the future we will be able to have more discussions on issues that may affect the security of the region".
