TEHRAN –Establishing a joint humanitarian network by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement and the governments can help explore diverse aspects of support and integrate effective humanitarian measures, the secretary general of the Iranian Red Crescent Society (IRCS) has said.

It will also lead to the creation of sustainable added value and ultimately increase the credibility of the humanitarian network, Mehr news agency quoted Meysam Afshar as saying.

The official made the remarks following the statutory meetings held in Geneva, Switzerland, ahead of the 34th International Conference of the Red Cross and Red Crescent, which will be held from October 28 to 31.

The basis of the global humanitarian services offered by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, particularly during emergencies including natural disasters and armed conflicts, lies in supporting people and alleviating human suffering.

To create balance and proportion between growing expectations, and the needs of the vulnerable people, as well as the financial and spiritual capacity of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, especially during crisis, in the first place highlights the need for more dialogue and interaction between the societies.

In the second place, it underscores fostering interactions with other agents such as governments and relevant international organizations, through humanitarian diplomacy and advocacy.
