In a meeting with Algerian Parliament Speaker Abdul Qadir bin Saleh on Sunday, Rohani said Tehran and Algiers can have “very good” bilateral and regional cooperation.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran is completely ready to expand and deepen mutual relations with Algeria in economic, cultural and political fields and believes that the settlement of regional issues requires the participation of regional countries,” Rohani stated.
He emphasized that foreign interference, and inability of Muslim countries to use all their capabilities are the main factors behind the problems Muslims are faced with.
The Algerian parliament speaker, for his part, said the two countries enjoy deep-rooted economic, cultural and political ties, adding that his country is keen on improving bilateral cooperation and countering ongoing challenges in the region and the world.
The meeting between Rohani and Bin Saleh came one day after Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei officially endorsed Rohani for a four-year term in office as Iran’s new president.
Rohani won Iran’s June 14 presidential election with 50.7 percent of a total of over 36 million ballots. The voter turnout in the election was 72.7 percent.
