Deputy Foreign Minister for Euro-American Affairs Majid Takht-e Ravanchi said on Monday that Iran and Bolivarian Alliance ‘for the Peoples of Our America’ share common stance on various issues and can have extensive cooperation within framework of NAM IRNA reported.
He made the remarks in a meeting with ambassadors of the Bolivarian Alliance of the Latin American states on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of emerging the ALBA.

Referring to excellent political relations of Iran with the ALBA states, Takht-e Ravanchi said the two sides share common grounds for mutual economic cooperation.
‘Iran is ready for expansion of cooperation and extending technical and engineering assistance to the countries with the aim of removal of impediments.’
Meanwhile, he praised the Cuban government and nation’s 50-year resistance to the US sanctions, and said unilateralism and economic sanctions have proved to be ineffective and inefficient tools.
Nicaraguan ambassador, on behalf of the ALBA states, expressed hope that the ALBA states will move in line with unity and convergence of the Latin American states.
Venezuelan Ambassador said that sanctions imposed by the western governments on Iran have proved to fail.
Cuban ambassador thanked Iranian government and nation for stand-by the Cuban government and nation for long years.
