Today in New York, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, during his meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, urged him to force Saudi Arabia to cooperate more actively with Arab countries on the issue of informing about the tragedy in the Mina Valley near Mecca.
At that the same time, he expressed regret over the fact that the Saudi authorities are not actively cooperating in relation to informing about the fate of missing persons, transportation of dead bodies and assistance to the wounded. "Ban Ki-moon should remind the government of Riyadh about its obligations to comply with both legislative norms and human rights," RIA Novosti quoted Rouhani as saying.
