Iraqi Foreign Minister Mohammed Ali al-Hakim said the need to resolve local and international conflicts in order to avoid war in the region was relevant.
“We still face serious challenges. Local and international conflicts reign in our region, which can lead to war if we can’t solve it. The war can spread to the entire region”, – the diplomat said at the summit of the Non-Aligned Movement in Baku.
“We reject interference in the internal affairs of other countries. We believe in the principles of our movement”, – he stressed.
