 Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on Wednesday called on the United Nations to undertake reforms to reflect the “growing role of developing countries”.

“To continue its presence in the international political and economic scene, the United Nations needs to undertake fundamental reforms,” said Araqchi, the ISNA news agency reported.
