Iran dismisses UAE "interference" allegations

Xinhua, February 5, 2017 Adjust font size:

Iran's Foreign Ministry dismissed the claims made by the UAE minister of state for foreign affairs about Tehran's interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries, Press TV reported on Saturday.

The UAE official had better be realistic and avoid repeating baseless claims which have no result but divergence among regional countries, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qasemi said on Saturday.

Iran has made all efforts to establish and maintain convergence, peace, stability and security in the region, Qasemi was quoted as saying.

Iran has always placed emphasis on the principles of dialogue, respect for sovereignty of countries and good neighborliness in the region, he said, expressing the hope that other regional countries would also make more efforts to establish such relations.

On Saturday, the UAE minister of state for foreign affairs, Anwar Gargash, tweeted that Iran's interference in the internal affairs of Arab countries had caused instability in the region. Endit
