Mahmoud Ahmadinejad in a meeting with Zimbabwean Minister of State for Presidential Affairs Didymus Mutasa Monday in Tehran said, Iran will stand behind Zimbabwe to help it resist western sanctions.
Iran has always denounced the illegal and cruel pressures by western countries against people of Zimbabwe aimed at making them surrender, he said and added, they are concerned about Zimbabwe’s independence therefore they are trying to dominate the country again.
He also emphasized the two countries should employ capacities in order to promote the level of cooperation and relations and make influential and important steps to deepen ties.
Meanwhile, Mutasa submitted Zimbabwean President Robert Mugabe’s message to President Ahmadinejad and stressed that the capacities and rich reserves of the two sides are appropriate grounds for mutual investment and cooperation.
Mutasa has also held talks with Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki.
