"Iran supports Mauritius's territorial integrity and independence of its government and it opposes the interference of certain expansionists in Mauritius," Dr.Ahmadinejad said at the meeting held on the sidelines of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) foreign ministers' meeting in Tehran on Tuesday.

He said Tehran believes that the expansionist powers' interference in Mauritius is "just the result of the arrogant powers' greed for that country's capital and wealth".

"Iran and Mauritius are two independent countries which want progress and the two nations don't seek dominance over others and this is a good ground for the expansion of economic cooperation and the deepening of political relations to pave the ground for the further improvement of the level of the two countries' ties in all fields," he added.
