Iran and Brazil can play an important role in ‘the new world order through their cooperation on the international scene’ and increase their bilateral collaboration, Iranian Foreign Minister Manoucher Mottaki has said.
On Wednesday night, Mottaki met Brazil’s deputy foreign minister, Roberto Jaguaribe Gomes de Mattos who is on an official trip to Iran.
During the meeting, both men reviewed the international and regional situations, as well as the development of bilateral relations.
Mottaki said: ‘Iran and Brazil can play very important roles in the new world order cooperating on global nuclear disarmament or on the international scene.’
There is a good outlook for economic cooperation, particularly in the sectors of energy, trade and investment, he added.
Mattos said that one can forecast the cooperation will strengthen in the future via increased direct contacts between the two countries.
He announced ‘a high-level Brazilian delegation will visit Iran shortly to have a look at which areas are appropriate in which to push cooperation’.
Gomes de Mattos reiterated that Brazil supports Iran’s right to the peaceful use of nuclear energy and that his country believes that applying more international sanctions is not the solution to the conflict rooted in US claims that Tehran is trying to develop nuclear weapons.
