Iranian, Finnish FMs discuss developments in West Asia
Iranian Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi and his Finnish counterpart Elina Valtonen have exchanged views on the latest developments in the West Asia region.
In a phone call, Araghchi said Iran’s history showed that Iranians are peace-loving people, blaming the crisis in West Asia on Israel’s “warmongering and genocide,” according to a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday.
He slammed certain European countries for their “paradoxical and contradictory” approaches towards Israeli “crimes” in the region, regretting that no effective action has been taken by the European Union to counter Israel’s law violations and crimes in its ongoing offensives against Palestine and Lebanon, Xinhua news agency reported.
