President Ahmadinejad: Worldˈs independent states in same front

President Ahmadinejad made the remarks in meetings with the new Lebanese, Comorian and South African ambassadors to Iran here in Tehran on Thursday.

In similar remarks last week, President Ahmadinejad called for unity among the worldˈs independent states, saying that no power can damage the relations among nations.

ˈIf independent nations such as Iran and Niger become united … no power will be able to taint the relations between the two nations,ˈ Ahmadinejad said in a meeting with President of the Nigerien National Assembly Hama Amadou in Nigerˈs capital city of Niamey last Tuesday.

ˈThe enemies do not want friendly ties among brothers and are constantly involved in plotting and propaganda, but the will of the nations and governments will overcome the desire of the enemies,ˈ he added.

President Ahmadinejad, heading a high-ranking delegation, had a three-day visit to East Africa last week. He visited Benin, Niger and Ghana.
