On Tuesday, Ali Larijani received Mr. Peter Maurer, head of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Larijani voiced Iran’s willingness to play a role in ICRC missions and humanitarian programs. “Parliament views ICRC activities in positive light, and would work with the organization in good faith to help with projects in disaster-stricken regions,” Larijani told the meeting.
Parliament speaker also believed that much of the fight against terrorism now had been military and security-centered; “the cultural roots of extremism should also receive enough consideration,” he added.
Mr. Maurer expressed gratitude for Iran’s Parliament role in working with the ICRC in attainment of its visions; “ICRC has a priority in finding proper means of propagating Islamic human rights and the values the religion places on the man; Islam has largely been implicated with being the roots of extremism and fundamentalism evident in terrorist’s atrocities, and the ICRC has a mission to fight this mentality of hatred; conflicts and humanitarian disasters entail ICRC’s more engagement with Iran in delivering aid to the affected communities in the region,” he emphasized.
