Iran's Speaker Ali LarijaniIran's Majlis speaker has called for the
promotion of all-out relations with Armenia, highlighting the key
role that parliaments play in bringing the two countries closer.
"The Iranian Parliament supports any plans to promote cooperation in
different sectors such as political, economic, cultural and trade,"
said Ali Larijani in a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Tigran
Sargsyan in Tehran on Tuesday.
Larijani underlined the two countries have the 'political will'
to further cement mutual relations.
The top parliamentarian also stressed the need to fully exploit the
existing untapped potential in trade and economy, particularly by
strengthening the role of the private sector in both countries.
"Bilateral economic and trade ties should expand in tandem with mutual
political relations," the Iranian parliament speaker said.
Larijani then referred to the recently revealed documents on
whistleblower website Wikileaks regarding developments in Iraq and
said, "Such revelations show the US is after adventurism in different
parts of the world."
"Regional countries should adopt appropriate approaches to establish
stability and calm to serve the interests of the Iraqi people and
prevent foreigners from creating crises," the Iranian speaker said.
The visiting Armenian premier, in turn, highlighted that his trip
to Iran aims to further enhance mutual relations in different areas,
particularly economy and trade.
He expressed hope that the private sectors of both countries would
forge closer ties and make more investments in trade activities.
