Iran: Islamic World On Way To THE Global Power
Iranian State News Agency, IRNA:
The Islamic world will become the leading major global power through unity and promotion of all-out cooperation, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said on Tuesday.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with Indonesian President, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, who concluded his visit to Iran later in the day.
President Yudhoyono arrived here Monday afternoon heading a high-ranking political and economic delegation.
During his stay, five documents were signed by Iranian and Indonesian officials on bilateral cooperation.
“The world of Islam can become a global power through unity and promotion of political, economic, cultural and scientific cooperation,” stressed the supreme leader.
Criticizing Washington for using force against other countries, Ayatollah Khamenei said, “Submission to hegemony of world arrogance is the cause of their backwardness.”
He praised Jakarta move at the UN Security Council when the council adopted on March 3 its third resolution under vigorous pressure of Western states, the US in particular, against Tehran’s peaceful nuclear program.
Indonesia, a member of the Non-Aligned Movement, was the only UNSC member that abstained in the vote on the Iran resolution.
Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the move by Jakarta as a “courageous act.”
Referring to NAM as “a symbol of independence” in the world, the Supreme Leader hoped the movement would achieve its goals.
