TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, in a meeting with Cuba's new Ambassador to Tehran Vladimir Andres Gonzalez Quesada, called on the world powers to reconsider their relations with other countries based on mutual respect and justice, reiterating that the era of their bullying has now come to an end.


During the meeting in Tehran on Saturday, President Rouhani pointed to the efforts by the big powers to create problems in the trend of the relations between the independent states, including Iran and Cuba, and said, �We should make big powers realize that the bullying era has ended and should make them consider equality and justice in their relations with other countries.�

The Iranian president pointed to the common views of Iran and Cuba on important international issues, and said, �Iran has good relations with the Latin American countries, specially Cuba.�

President Rouhani expressed the hope that Iran and Cuba would further broaden their relations during the tenure of the new Cuban ambassador to Tehran, and said, �Iran and Cuba can play an important role in international organizations, including the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), through their cooperation.�

The Cuban ambassador, for his part, underlined the importance of Tehran-Havana ties, and said, �My mission in Iran is to further expand and strengthen the bilateral ties.�

Gonzalez Quesada reiterated that his country is ready to further expand mutual cooperation with Iran in different fields.

Iran has sought to expand ties and cooperation with the Latin American states in recent years.

In line with the same policy, Iran's former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad had several official trips to major Latin American countries, including Brazil, Cuba, Bolivia and Venezuela.

During his visits, Ahmadinejad signed a number of agreements with the leaders of Latin America in a bid to strengthen Iran's foothold in South America.
