UN HUMANITARIAN CHIEF WELCOMES ENHANCED PARTNERSHIP WITH IRAN ON
REGIONAL, INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE
New York, Sep 15 2013 1:00PM
United Nations humanitarian chief Valerie Amos announced today that
Iran is set to strengthen its partnership with the UN on regional and
international assistance, and stressed that effective collaboration is
crucial if the world body and other organizations are going to meet
the needs of an increasing number of people affected by emergencies
worldwide.

Ms. Amos, Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and UN
Emergency Relief Coordinator, wrapped up a three-day visit to Iran
today welcoming the opportunity to work more closely with the country
in regional and international humanitarian affairs.

"Iran has a well-developed system for disaster preparedness and
response and often shares their capacity and expertise when responding
to emergencies in other countries," noted Ms. Amos, emphasizing that
she was pleased to have signed a joint statement with the Government
to strengthen partnership with the UN to improve regional cooperation
on humanitarian assistance.

During her visit, Ms. Amos met with Mohammad Javad Zarif, Minister for
Foreign Affairs. She also met with the President of the Iranian Red
Crescent Society other senior officials and representatives of the
diplomatic and humanitarian community, and non-governmental
organizations.

Iran's engagement is essential as the international community faces
larger and more complex crises in the region and elsewhere in the
world. "Effective partnership is crucial if UN agencies and other
organizations are going to rise to the challenge of meeting the needs
of an increasing number of people affected by emergencies around the
world and Iran has much to contribute to the debate on the future of
the humanitarian system," emphasized Ms. Amos.

She also thanked the people and the Government of Iran for their
generosity and solidarity in hosting hundreds of thousands of refugees
from Iraq and Afghanistan, and called on the international community
to continue supporting Iran and Afghanistan's efforts to provide
long-term solutions for Afghan refugees.

Turning to the terrible conflict in Syria that is affecting the whole
region, with millions of people displaced at home or having fled to
safety in neighboring countries Ms. Amos said: "As others continue to
pursue a political solution to the conflict in Syria I can only stress
the massive human cost."

In that context she had briefed the Foreign Minister and others on her
recent visit to Damascus and asked for their help "in strengthening
our humanitarian response, especially on obtaining better access for
aid operations."
