Chinese President Xi Jinping on Tuesday called on all countries to achieve a green recovery of the world economy in the post-COVID era at the general debate of the 75th session of the UN General Assembly via video.

"Humankind can no longer afford to ignore the repeated warnings of nature and go down the beaten path of extracting resources without investing in conservation, pursuing development at the expense of protection, and exploiting resources without restoration," Xi said.

He noted that the Paris Agreement on climate change charts the course for the world to transition to green and low-carbon development.

"It outlines the minimum steps to be taken to protect the Earth, our shared homeland, and all countries must take decisive steps to honor this agreement," he said.

Xi also called on all countries to pursue innovative, coordinated, green and open development for all, seize the historic opportunities presented by the new round of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation, and achieve a green recovery of the world economy in the post-COVID era.

Iranian authorities said that the fire has not resulted in injuries or casualties, adding that an investigation has been launched into the incident.

On Tuesday evening, a massive fire broke out at a dairy factory in the Iranian city of Eslamshahr, located in the southwest of Tehran province, Press TV reported.

"There are no casualties … firefighters have been dispatched to the factory in the Islamshahr county. Efforts to control and extinguish the widespread fire continue," a fire department official told state TV, adding that the probe was launched into the cause of the fire.

A video showing the blaze engulfing the two-storey facility as well as firefighter crews at the scene has been uploaded by the news organisation on Twitter.

A series of incidents has occurred at various factories across Iran in recent months, the most notable of which was a fire at the Natanz nuclear plant in July. The blaze caused damage to the facility, although it did not disrupt its operation.
