Domineering powers seeking to weaken nations with potential -
Ahmadinejad
IRAN: Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has described
Iran-India relations as friendly and deep-rooted, saying the two nations
have common views on a range of historical and cultural issues.
"Under the current global circumstances, we have a duty to insist on
the maintenance and further enhancement of mutual ties," President
Ahmadinejad said during a meeting with Indian External Affairs Minister
Salman Khurshid in Tehran on Saturday.
"The global ruling system has reached a political, cultural, and
economic stalemate, and the equations of power in favour of justice,
peace, and friendship," Ahmadinejad stated.
Human beings need a system in which relations between nations are
based on justice and friendship, he added. "Humanity needs a world in
which all nations enjoy the right opportunities to make progress," he
noted. Commenting on the pressure the hegemonic powers exert on
independent and justice-seeking nations, he said, "The more they ratchet
up the pressure, the stronger we will get."
The domineering powers are seeking to weaken nations that have the
potential to 'go global,' such as Iran and India, and that's why they
are pressuring the two nations, Ahmadinejad observed.
