Iran Press/ Iran News: The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Iran Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated that the consequences and environmental problems of the region are not only directed at a few specific countries but have affected the entire West Asian region and said: "Avoiding environmental cooperation is not a solution for any country."
Iran's Foreign Minister in a message to the first national conference on diplomacy and transboundary environmental challenges, which was held in Tehran on Sunday, added: "The capacities of the environment and its ability to regenerate do not match the amount of destruction caused by human interference with this divine gift."
Amir-Abdollahian said: "The result of human indulgence and lack of love for nature are many challenges that the people of the world are currently facing from local to international levels."
Iran's FM further stated: "Human interventions in the natural cycles of the environment and its extensive destruction, including mismanagement of water resources, energy resources, and territorial destruction have caused the development and security of societies to be subjected to real and urgent concerns; On the other hand, military interventions, war and terrorism have formed an ominous triangle, which, in addition to all its destructive effects, has led to widespread destruction of the environment and the destruction of infrastructure."
Stating that foreign interference, the phenomenon of terrorism and the creation of insecurity in some countries of the region have focused all the attention and limited resources of these countries on themselves and environmental challenges are not given enough attention, he stated: "In the western Asian region, the wars and crises of the last few decades have weakened or destroyed the existing regional mechanisms and infrastructure for cooperation in various fields, including the environment."
