President: Iran Ready to Transfer Experience to Mali
TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad stressed that Tehran is prepared to transfer its experiences to Mali in different fields.
The issue was raised in a meeting with visiting Malian defense minister here in Tehran on the sidelines of the First International Conference on Global Fight against Terrorism.
The Iranian president underlined following up the mutually reached agreements and MoUs (memoranda of understanding) and added that expansion of relations between the two countries would be beneficial for both nations and governments and that Iran is ready to transfer its experiences in different fields to the government of Mali.
He reiterated that Islamic Republic of Iran pays a lot of respect for the people of Mali, because Mali has been hub of culture and civilization and Iran is so interested to have a maximum-level development of relations with the Republic of Mali.
Malian Defense Minister, for his part, expressed pleasure with being here to attend the International Conference on Global Fight against Terrorism and said that his country's officials are involved in such an issue and are trying to find a constructive technique to control such dangerous phenomenon.
He stressed that terrorism is an infra-national phenomenon, so it is necessary for all independent countries to take big steps toward cooperation with each other to confront the issue.
Iran and Mali have increased efforts to widen their cooperation in different areas. The two countries signed five cooperation agreements during President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to the West African state in July 2010.
