Ali Larijani and Uruguayan Vice President Raúl Sendic Rodríguez met on Monday evening to discuss matters of bilateral interests. Larijani believed that Iran’s nuclear program and its clinching of a deal provided a clear example where pressures would be unavailing in creating barriers in the path to nations’ rights; “our policies have hinged upon this guiding principle, and thus secured our rights in the framework of NPT,” Larijani told the meeting, turning to bilateral relations with South American small nation.
“A knowledge of markets in both countries would facilitate ties and trade; we have already had relations however in the recent past,” he added.
Larijani said that international crises especially in the Middle East, which had now surpassed European borders required international efforts and coordination to be addressed and tackled; “all countries should exploit capacities and diplomatic resources to restore stability to nations to effectively address uncontrolled migrations especially to Europe,” said Larijani.
Raúl Sendic Rodríguez for his part said that Iran and Uruguay experienced different crises in two strategic points in the world; “the Middle East is mired on terrorism and extremism. Across the Atlantic Ocean in the South America, a different sort of crisis has hit nations; in the early years of the present century, our nations flourished through producing agricultural products which had given us a degree of independence in economy; however, plummeting prices of foods and crops hit the economies suddenly,” he told the meeting.
He believed that countries should support democratic processes to bestow a degree of legitimacy and stability to their governments to forestall anarchy and bring nations welfare; “we congratulate Iran for its good offices in securing its nuclear rights; we also welcome exchange of oil for agricultural and animal farming products with Iran and further improvement of trade,” he added.
