Iran Urges Global Action against Water Crisis

Tasnim News Agency, November 24, 2016

“To meet these challenges, the international community needs to accentuate its political will to promote trans-boundary water cooperation through negotiating, designing, agreeing and implementing custom made and appropriate water-sharing plans and access to water,” Dehqani said on Monday at the UN Security Council Open Debate on “Water, Peace and Security”.

I would like to express my gratitude to Mr Ban Ki-Moon, Secretary-General of the United Nations, the Global High-Level Panel on Water and Peace, ICRC and Strategic Foresight Group for their inputs in this debate.
