(NEW STRAITS TIMES) TEHRAN: Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi wrote a letter to United Nations (UN) Secretary General Ban Ki-moon to protest against the anti-Islam film produced in California, which has sparked protests across the Muslim world, Iran’s Mehr News Agency (MNA) reported.

Meanwhile, the Iranian ambassador to the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), Hamid Reza Dehqani on Monday said that foreign ministers of Muslim countries will soon discuss the issue of the insult to Prophet Muhammad.

Dehqani said that given the fact that the sentiments of Muslims were hurt by the insult to Prophet Muhammad, foreign ministers of member states will discuss ways to deal with the issue during their 39th meeting and also during the 67th Session of the United Nations General Assembly.

The 39th meeting of the OIC foreign ministers is scheduled to be held in Djibouti in November and the 67th session of the UN General Assembly opens at the UN Headquarters in New York Tuesday. Bernama
