FM Zarif: Era of monopoly over

 

Once it was assumed that world powers can drive the world to war or peace, but, nowadays, the role of individuals has shown that the era of monopoly is over, said the Iranian minister of foreign affairs on Thursday.

‘The world around us is no longer the world of hatred and violence; it is the world of Nowruz, the return of beauty and mirth,’ said Zarif in a Tree-Planting Day ceremony.

Zarif said, ‘The things that unite us are far more than what may have divided us; one of the most important factors in uniting us is the environment, which has turned into a big challenge.’

He added that no country, although powerful, can solve the problem of the environment without the help of the others.

‘We are all on the same boat; we will either get to the beach safe and sound, or fail to do it,’ Zarif said.

The ceremony was also attended by Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi, and the Mayer of Tehran Mohammad-Ali Najaf
