📌 Tehran, IRNA — President Masoud Pezeshkian has left Yerevan for Tehran after participating in the 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP 17) to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD).
During this one-day trip, Pezeshkian met with the prime ministers of Armenia and Georgia.
In his speech at the Summit on Friday, he stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to the Convention on Biological Diversity and the global goals for nature conservation.
The international community must accept that countries under sanctions or exposed to military aggression should not bear the environmental costs of war and sanctions alone, he added.
