MNA � Iranian Foreign Ministry has summoned Polish Charge d'Affaires to voice protest over the hosting of an anti-Iran, so-called �peace and security in Middle East� conference by US and Poland in February.

In a statement on Sunday, Iranian Foreign Ministry noted that Polish Charge d'Affaires Wojciech Unolt has been summoned on Jan. 12 to receive the Islamic Republic's note of protest over an anti-Iran conference to be jointly hosted by the US and Poland on 13-14 February in Warsaw.

During the meeting, head of the Eastern Europe First office at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed the Islamic Republic�s protest over the holding of the conference by the Polish side in cooperation with the United States, adding �this is a hostile move by the United States against the Islamic Republic of Iran and Poland is expected to refrain from co-sponsoring the conference with the US.�

The Polish Charge d'Affaires offered some explanations about the conference, stressing that the conference is not anti-Iran, and that Poland�s positions are different from the recent remarks made by American officials.

The Iranian diplomat, for his part, deemed the explanations �insufficient�, and stressed the need for an immediate compensatory action by the Polish government; �otherwise, the Islamic Republic will have no other option but to take countermeasures.�

Referring to the historical relations between the two countries, Poland's Charge d'Affaires stated that he would convey the message of the Iranian government to the relevant authorities in Poland.
