Larijani discusses ties with Belarusian counterpart

TEHRAN - Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani and his Belarusian counterpart Boris Batura in a meeting here on Tuesday called for the expansion of cooperation between the two countries.

Larijani said although Iran and Belarus have expanded their relations to a considerable extent, there is still a great potential for economic and industrial cooperation.

He stated that the parliaments of the two countries can play a significant role in increasing ties between Tehran and Minsk.

Larijani also said, "It is Iran' principled policy to establish security and lasting peace in the region."

The Majlis speaker also said, "Iran has made great nuclear achievements and will continue its peaceful nuclear activities under the supervision of the International Atomic Energy Agency".

For his part, Batura said, "The Republic of Belarus greatly values friendship with Iran, and expansion of cooperation with Iran, as the most important Persian Gulf country, is one of the priorities of Belarus' foreign policy."

The Belarusian official called for the implementation of economic, political and industrial agreements between the two countries.

Batura also said his country supports Iran's right to peaceful nuclear technology.

In a meeting with Iranian Commerce Minister Masoud Mir-Kazemi in Tehran on Tuesday, Batura said Belarus and Iran have established good political relations and should try to bring their economic cooperation to the same level.

Some difficulties between businessmen and enterprises of the two countries emerge because the partners rarely meet and are not fully aware of each other's potential, the top Belarusian lawmaker noted.
