Tehran, YJC. In a note to the Bushehr power plant transfer, the president has said that Iran is the harbinger of nuclear power plants to the Islamic world.
In
a note, Rouhani addressed the handover of the Bushehr nuclear power plant,
which was officially held on Monday.
The note was read to the attending
audience by the Deputy Head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran Mohammad
Ahmadian."Now,
with divine regard and mutual cooperation between Iran and Russia, and despite some
delay, the occasion for temporarily delivering the Bushehr nuclear power plant
has come. Thanks to the efforts of the Iranian youth and the strategic policy
of the Islamic Republic on developing modern technology, we are the harbinger
of nuclear power plants in the Islamic world,” the note read.
It added
"The cooperation trend between Iran and Russia has had a descending trajectory
in the last few decades and the Bushehr nuclear power plant is the symbol of
cooperation and a ground for further cooperation.”
"Bitter
nuclear incidents such as the Fukushima disaster are a stamp of approval on the
Islamic Republic of Iran’s regard for full confidence in the security of the power
plant,” Rouhani further asserted in his letter.
He
added "The motto of the IAEA is ‘Atoms for Peace’. We hope that all countries
try for the realization of this motto. As in the past, the Islamic Republic of Iran
will be a forerunner in attaining that high goal.”
