Gholamali Khoshroo made the remarks on Tuesday, at the formal debate of the General Assembly on the Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism in New York.
While hailing the Plan of Action presented by the UN Secretary General as a “significant initiative that both raises awareness and call for coordination among and action by Member States against violent extremism”, Khoshroo discussed the Islamic Republic’s views on the PoA in details:
“Mr. President,
I thank you for organizing this formal debate on the Plan of Action to Prevent Violent Extremism presented by the Secretary General.
It is our understanding - as also stated earlier in the two previous meetings - that the PoA is a significant initiative that both raises awareness and call for coordination among and action by Member States against violent extremism, which is currently the most pressing threat against security, stability as well as socio-economic achievements and social fabric of many countries around the world.
