During his visit to Geneva, Switzerland for the 55th meeting of the United Nations Human Rights Council and the Conference on Disarmament, Amir-Abdollahian met with his Danish counterpart on Tuesday as part of his diplomatic consultations.
The two had previously engaged in joint talks, resulting in progress on issues of mutual interest, including consular issues, Amir-Abdollahian said, expressing Iran’s readiness to continue talks and cooperation within the framework of common interests, particularly in the economic and commercial fields, to strengthen the cooperation of the private sectors of the two countries.
The Iranian diplomat also shared his country’s position regarding developments in Ukraine and the Red Sea, calling for a political solution to the crisis in Ukraine and urging pressure on the Zionist regime to stop the war against Gaza and the genocide of the Palestinians, considering the continuation of the Gaza crisis as the root of instability in the Red Sea.
Amir-Abdollahian proposed the activation of the political consultation committee of the two countries at the level of the senior political managers of the foreign ministries to address various issues of interest.
Denmark’s foreign minister, for his part, expressed his satisfaction with this meeting, considered it necessary and useful to conduct these talks within the framework of common bilateral issues, and welcomed it.

Also in a separate meeting on Tuesday, Amir-Abdollahian met and held talks with UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk in Geneva.
During the meeting, Amir-Abdollahian thanked the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights for his constructive effort on the Palestine issue and commitment to joint talks.
He also highlighted that the systematic human rights violations in Gaza have turned into a disaster of the century, calling for effective action to stop the tragedy in the Gaza Strip.
Amir-Abdollahian criticized the double-standard approach of some countries on human rights and warned that the situation in Rafah is on the verge of becoming a new humanitarian disaster and it is necessary for the United Nations to seriously warn the Zionist regime and the US in this regard.
Volker Türk, for his part, expressed his concern about what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank.
He stressed that the Palestinian crisis has no military solution and emphasized the need to find a political solution to this crisis.
