Thank you Mr. President,

The Islamic Republic of Iran welcomes the Guinean delegation and thanks them for presenting their national report.

We recognize the efforts of the Government of Guinea to promote and protect the human rights of its people, especially their economic, social, and cultural rights, as reflected in the national report submitted to this session.

Iran offers the following recommendations to Guinea:

1- Continue to combat poverty, including by adopting specific measures targeting rural areas, women, and children.

2- Redouble efforts to reduce the rates of unemployment by adopting strategies with action plans that include specific objectives and identify the financial and technical resources required for their implementation.

3- Take measures to ensure access to safe drinking water and sanitation for those living in rural areas.

4- Prioritize increasing investment in education, particularly in rural and marginalized areas where disparities may prevail more.

5- Take all appropriate measures to combat maternal and infant mortality.

6- Strengthen national initiatives aimed at promoting the standard of living and advancing women's empowerment in the country.

Iran wishes Guinea a successful review. 

Thank you, Mr. President.
