Mr. Al Habib (Islamic Republic of Iran): I would like to express my Government’s heartfelt thanks to Mr. De Mistura, Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria, and his team for all their efforts during his tenure. There has always been close cooperation between my Government and Mr. De Mistura as Special Representative of the Secretary-General for Afghanistan and for Iraq and Special Envoy for Syria. He has visited our country many times. I hope that next time he can visit as a vacation to have enough time to see the various beautiful Iranian cities. I would also like to welcome the appointment of Mr. Pedersen as the new Special Envoy of the Secretary-General for Syria and express our readiness to cooperate with him in discharging his mandate.
