January 19 set as International Gaza Day

Iran’s Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani says that Muslim countries have agreed to his proposal to name January 19th as the International Gaza Day.

Larijani made the announcement upon his return from the sixth session of the Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union.

Larijani returned to Tehran on Monday after an eight-day visit to Kuwait and Uganda.

In Uganda, Iran’s parliament speaker met with the country’s President Yoweri Museveni and Parliament Speaker Edward Ssekandi.

During his visit to Kuwait and Uganda, head of the Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Broujerdi accompanied Larijani.
