Mottaki: UN should not be held as hostage by US


50084 Afran
Tehran, May 1, IRNA -- Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki said on Saturday that it is among duties of UN to issue visa to officials from member countries and the US should not misuse the world body as an instrument against its opponents.

Mottaki made the remarks at a joint press conference with his counterpart from Guinea Conakry Bakary Fofana in Tehran.

Some US officials try to throw obstacles on the way of the upcoming visit of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to New York for NPT review conference, said one reporter.

Mottaki said the US should not try to hold the United Nations Security Council and the UN as hostage to attain its sinister goals.

“We hope the US officials would correct their stands to this effect and carry out their duties as a host country,” Mottaki said.
