Igor Ivanov said on 21 March that the U.S. decision to confiscate the assets of Iraqi President Hussein\'s regime is extremely worrying, Russian media reported. Ivanov was speaking in Moscow to a session of the Council for Defense and Foreign Policy. \"It could mean that after this is done, it will be announced that all previous treaties and contracts with Iraq are invalid, and we will lose our economic interests in the country,\" Ivanov said. He also expressed related concerns over Washington\'s efforts to persuade foreign countries to expel Iraqi diplomats. Ivanov also called for restoring the United Nations\' leading role in international affairs and repeated Moscow\'s call for expanding the UN Security Council to include India and one new permanent member each from Latin America, Africa, and Asia.
