In a meeting with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly in New York on Monday, President Raisi said the main mission and duty of the UN is to pay attention to the demands of the world nations for the establishment of justice, elimination of discrimination and poverty, and ensuring sustainable security.
