Iran's New UN Envoy Vows to Amplify Iran's Voice on World Stage

Iran's new ambassador to the United Nations says he will strengthen the country's status in debates over international issues, laws and policies, and fight unilateralism that poses a threat to the world.   
"A series of international treaties are drawn up in the United Nations, which is an important issue. So we want to have a say and play a role in the drafting of these agreements. It should not be the case that some individuals decide to draft a treaty and approve it, and then we choose to either join it or not," Majid Takht-Ravanchi told IRNA in a recent interview.
The career diplomat said he plans to strengthen Iran's participation in global negotiations over socioeconomic issues, international peace and security, nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation, regional developments and environment, particularly measures aimed at tackling air pollution.
