Morales, for his part, appreciated President Rouhanis letter, and stressed the importance of ties with Iran as a friendly country.
He also invited President Rouhani to participate in the Group 77 summit in Bolivia.
Iran has been seeking to boost its ties with Latin American countries in recent years to the concern of the United States. It has expanded friendly ties with Latin America, specially in economic, trade and industrial fields.
The strong and rapidly growing ties between Iran and Latin America have raised eyebrows in the US and its western allies since Tehran and Latin nations have forged an alliance against the imperialist and colonialist powers and are striving hard to reinvigorate their relations with the other independent countries which pursue a line of policy independent from the US.
