聯合國祕書長將訪問伊朗

United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon plans to travel to Iran next week for a meeting of non-aligned nations, amid objections from the United States and Israel which say the visit sends a bad signal.

Mr. Ban's spokesman, Martin Nesirky, announced the trip Wednesday. He says the U.N. chief will convey the international community's concerns and expectations about Iran's nuclear program, terrorism, human rights and the crisis in Syria.

Nesirky says Mr. Ban is aware of the sensitive nature of his visit, but that boycotting would be a "missed opportunity."

The United States says it is concerned Iran will use its turn to host the 120-member group to "deflect attention from its own failings."聯合國祕書長潘基文計劃下星期前往伊朗，出席不結盟國家的一次會議，同時美國和以色列都對此表示反對，認爲潘基文的訪問將發出一個錯誤的信息。

潘基文的發言人內西爾基星期三宣佈了潘基文將前往伊朗的消息。他說，潘基文將傳達國際社會對伊朗核項目、恐怖主義、人權以及敘利亞危機等問題的關注。

內西爾基說，潘基文了解此行的敏感性質，但如果拒絕出訪，就將錯過一個機會。

美國表示，擔心伊朗會利用主持這次擁有120個成員國的不結盟運動峯會的機會，轉移對其失敗的注意力。
