Iran's Speaker Invites Uruguayan Counterpart to Conference on Palestine

TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani officially invited Chairman of the Uruguayan House of Representative Luis Alberto Lacalle to attend the 5th Conference in Support of the Palestinian Intifada (uprising) to be held in Tehran in October.
The invitation was delivered to Lacalle by member of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Mohammad Karami-Raad in the Uruguayan capital city of Montevideo.

An international conference on the Palestinian uprising is scheduled to be held in the Iranian capital city of Tehran on October 1-2.

During the meeting, the two sides also conferred on other issues of mutual interest.

Karami-Raad stressed both sides' determination to expand cooperation in different fields, and called for further contacts and consultations to promote parliamentary cooperation between the two sides in different bilateral, regional and international fields.

Since taking office in 2005, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has expanded Iran's cooperation with many Latin American states, including Venezuela and Cuba.

In January 2011, the Iranian president met with the visiting Speaker of Uruguay's House of Representative, Ivonne Passada, here in Tehran.

During Passada's Tehran visit, Iran and Uruguay signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on boosting parliamentary cooperation between the two states.
