The Leader said the world should not be ruled by a few number of "bullying powers"
He said the "UN Security Council has a completely unfair structure, and the US and its allies have been misusing this unfair structure to materialize their interests"
"States should raise their relations on the basis of common interests and not threat and intimidation," he stressed
