Amr Moussa: Iran's initiatives bolstered confidence in region

Kuala Lumpur, June 28, IRNA -- Foreign ministers of Iran and Egypt here Wednesday reviewed regional developments and bilateral cooperation in international organizations, especially within the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC).

Kamal Kharrazi and Amr Moussa met on the sidelines of the ongoing OIC foreign ministerial meeting here.

Welcoming Iran's policies, Amr Mousa said that measures and initiatives of the Islamic Republic of Iran have bolstered confidence and friendship in the region.

Underlining the significant role that major regional countries play in the maintenance of security in the region, he said such a role further strengthens Islamic countries.

Amr Moussa said that currently the two countries hold common views on many regional and international issues, adding that the trend of bilateral relations between Iran and Egypt is moving in a sound direction. He stressed that potentials of the two countries should be employed in a proper way.

Pointing to the triumph of the Lebanese resistance, he said victory of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon caused international agencies to confirm the resistance and further realized Hizbollah's importance.

Speaking for his part, Kharrazi said that the pullout of the Zionist forces was a great victory for the Lebanese Islamic resistance and further strengthened self-confidence in regional countries showing that triumph will be realized in light of resistance.

He underlined the need for unconditional withdrawal of Israel from occupied territories and stressed that the Zionist regime should submit to the will of the Lebanese people.

Citing the potentials of Islamic countries, Kharrazi said that Muslims should adopt a specific strategy in an effort to confront conspiracies of the Zionist regime.

He underscored the importance of the security of the region and said that regional security can be safeguarded only in the light of building confidence among regional countries and through presence and cooperation of regional states.

Kharrazi further added that Iran's relations with neighboring countries have improved to an outstanding level to the interest of the regional people, adding that such facilities and potentials should be employed for confrontation with Israel.

Highlighting the rich Iran-Egypt culture and civilization, the Iranian foreign minister said cooperation between the two countries which are among major world countries can reinforce solidarity among Islamic states.

Kharrazi has so far separately met and conferred with his counterparts from Indonesia, Jordan, Oman and Malaysia as well as the OIC secretary general and Philippine presidential advisor on the sidelines of the 27th meeting of OIC foreign ministers.

The Kuala Lumpur OIC meeting is to end its work on Friday.
