The Foreign Ministry considers it feasible to transfer several UN GA committees from the United States

“I think it’s entirely feasible,” he said, answering the corresponding question.

However, he noted that this decision was taken by the General Assembly.

“This is not the first time that the American side has violated what it should do according to the UN Charter and the agreement on the location of the organization’s central bodies in the United States,” the deputy minister emphasized.

Earlier, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov urged to think about moving international events from the United States.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that the Iranian side will support the transfer of UN headquarters from the United States to another country, if such an issue is discussed.

The First Deputy Permanent Representative of Russia to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyansky, said that the Russian side has proposed starting in 2020 to postpone the meetings of the First Committee of the UN General Assembly from New York to Vienna or Geneva.
