Envoy Stresses Iran's Strong Ties with Eritrea
Tuesday 28 Oct 2008
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's Ambassador to Eritrea Reza Ameri said that his
country's relations with Eritrea are based on solid foundation that
dates back to the Eritrean people's armed struggle for independence.
He further stated that President Isaias Afwerki's visit to Iran also
provided additional impetus to the ties between the two countries.
Indicating that Iran-Eritrea cooperation in the domains of agriculture,
trade, media and investment is progressing well, the diplomat elaborated
that Iran is working diligently to enhance mutual ties between the two
nations.
Citing the East Sudan Peace Agreement as an example, Ameri lauded
Eritrea's role in bringing about solution to the problems of the region
without the interference of the big powers and their agents.
As regards regional developments, the Iranian envoy pointed out that the
Somali issue has been complicated due to the interference of external
forces, and as a result the Somali people are in dire condition.
He further stated that Iran advocates that the Somalis should resolve
their issues internally, and if necessary, sisterly countries should
extend assistance.
Stressing the need for the US Administration to reconsider its erroneous
strategy in the East Africa region, Ambassador Ameri expressed
conviction that the era of US hegemony in the world has come to an end,
and that liberty, justice and truth would soon prevail in the world.
