The head of the parliament's environment faction said that multilateralism is one of the important goals of the world's countries in order to fight unilateralism and selfishness.

Referring to the capacity of UNESCO in order to present programs regarding the achievements of Iranian women, she said: "voting to oust Iran has questioned multilateralism."
