TEHRAN – An Iranian diplomat has announced the Islamic Republic’s readiness in expanding cooperation with the international humanitarian organization known as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF).

Deputy Foreign Minister Hossein Amir Abdollahian made the remark in a meeting with MFS President Mégo Terzian in Tehran on Saturday, Mehr reported.

While referring to the needs of people in some regions such as Yemen, Syria, Iraq as well as some African countries and their lack of access to health centers and the shortage of necessary facilities and medicine, the Iranian diplomat voiced Tehran’s readiness to expand mutual cooperation with Doctors without Borders (MFS).

Accordingly, Iran’s Red Crescent Society (IRCS) and the Association of Muslim Doctors without Borders community will boost cooperation with the MFS in providing aid to crisis-ridden regions in the Middle East and Africa.
