In line with the “fourth round of political consultations between Iran and Bolivia”, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for Political Affairs Ali Bagheri on Sunday met with Bolivia’s Deputy Minister for Foreign Relations Freddy Mamani. The two officials discussed key issues of bilateral ties and international developments in the meeting. Bagheri pointed to the Islamic republic of Iran’s experience in countering foreign pressures and said the Islamic Republic is ready to share four decades of its experience in perseverance and progress with independent countries. Iran’s deputy foreign minister for political affairs further spoke about the country’s role in ridding regional nations of the ominous phenomenon of terrorism. Bagheri said, “Today, the resistance has gone beyond a mere culture and discourse and has turned into a thorough and efficient model of governance.” Bagheri said the culture of resistance in many regional countries have become a key component of national security and in this vein, it should be acknowledged that some regional nations owe their territorial integrity to the expansion and institutionalization of the culture of resistance among all people in those countries. In the meeting, Bolivia’s deputy minister for foreign relations outlined cooperation with Iran and the successful experience of the two countries in international interactions, calling for the expansion of economic ties with Tehran. He said the south-south cooperation, particularly in agriculture, and also the cultural, tourism, trade and husbandry fields are proper areas for cooperation between Iran and Bolivia.
