Iran, Egypt call for bolstering ties

Iran: Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and the visiting Secretary General of Egypt's Amal Party Magdi Hussein have called for strengthening ties between the two sides. In a meeting on Sunday, the Iranian official stressed the necessity of solidarity among the Egyptians and urged vigilance against the enemy plots until the final victory, IRNA reported.

Salehi voiced Tehran's readiness to offer the Islamic Republic's achievements to the Egyptian nation in all spheres, particularly in technology and industry, underlining that both countries are ready to take steps towards promoting friendly and sustainable relations. Hussein, in his turn, lauded the Islamic Republic's achievements, saying that the 1979 Islamic Revolution of Iran had been an inspiration for the popular uprising in Egypt.

Earlier in the day, the Egyptian official met with the Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council Saeed Jalili.

"The power that has risen from the Islamic awakening promises to obliterate global oppression and tyranny; and the will of nations will defeat world powers," Jalili said during the meeting.

Earlier in April, Egyptian Foreign Minister Nabil al-Arabi called for normalization of ties with Iran, saying Cairo is committed to seeking to improve long-frozen relations with Tehran.

The post-revolution Egypt looks poised to turn a new page in its relations with the Islamic Republic as al-Arabi said his country will witness a new phase in its ties with Iran.
