Iran’s Supreme Leader Syed Ali Khamenei called for unity and cooperation among Muslim nations, reiterating Iran’s readiness to offer assistance in developing African countries.
“The interfering hands of colonial powers have created numerous problems for African states in the past years, but today the nations have awakened and pursue cooperation with each other,” Syed Khamenei said.
“If cooperation between Islamic nations and governments is adequately implemented, all Muslims in the world would benefit from it,” his eminence stressed.
Sayyed Khamenei added that Iran welcomes expansion of ties with Guinea-Bissau. “Contrary to colonial powers, Iran as a friendly and brotherly country can contribute to the development of your country based on national interests,” his eminence told Sanha.
