Unity an obstacle to Israeli threats

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki says regional convergence has undermined Israel’s plans for launching a new war in the Middle East.

Mottaki said that support of Iran, Syria and Lebanon for resistance against Israel has been a deterrent to Tel Aviv’s threats.

The Iranian minister made the remarks at a joint press conference with his Cambodian counterpart Hor Namhong in Tehran on Tuesday.

He said that as two members of the great Asian family, Iran and Cambodia have exchanged views on bilateral relations and fields on which the two countries can cooperate.

He added that good political relations between the two countries, constructive cooperation in international organizations and mutual support for one another have paved the way for enhancing economic relations.

The Iranian and Cambodian foreign ministers stressed the importance of deepening relations in various fields including tourism.
