President Rouhani says Iran, Brazil enjoy common global stance
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called for the expansion of ties between the Islamic Republic and Brazil in various areas, saying the two nations share common stances on global issues.
“The points of view of Iran and those of Brazil on political and international issues are close,” President Rouhani said during his meeting with Brazilian Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Sunday.
Rouhani said Iran attaches great importance to the strengthening of its relationship with Brazil as an important country with a flourishing economy in Latin America.
“Iran hails Brazil’s effective and significant role as a great country in preserving stability and security of Latin America,” Rouhani stated.
Referring to the recent landmark nuclear agreement between Iran and the P5+1 group of countries, President Rouhani said a new climate has been created for the development of cooperation between Iran and other friendly nations.
“Iran does not consider the achievement of the nuclear agreement as the end of the road, but a beginning for establishing a more amicable atmosphere and increasing cooperation with different countries,” Rouhani said.
On July 14, Iran and the P5+1 countries – the United States, Britain, France, China, Russia and Germany – finalized the text of the nuclear agreement, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), in the Austrian capital, Vienna. Under the JCPOA, limits will be put on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all economic and financial bans against the Islamic Republic.
The Brazilian foreign minister, for his part, said Brasilia seeks to establish closer relations with Tehran in economic and political fields.
“Iran and Brazil have numerous interests in common and Brazil has always supported and recognized Iran’s positive and historical participation in regional and international developments,” the Brazilian minister said, adding that Tehran plays a major role in establishing stability in the Middle East.
