Iran calls for united front against enemies

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has called for establishing a “strong front” to foil plots hatched by the enemies of Islam.

“Many Muslim countries are in such a condition today that makes it necessary to form a strong and united front against the enemies,” Ahmadinejad said, in a meeting with visiting Somali Foreign Minister Ali Ahmed Jama in Tehran on Wednesday.

“The enemies are trying to prevent unity among Muslim nations to achieve their evil goals,” Fars news agency quoted the Iranian president as saying.

Ahmadinejad voiced Iran’s readiness to further enhance ties with Somalia.

The Somali top diplomat, for his part, called for expansion of bilateral ties between the two countries.
