Dr.Ahmadinejad in a meeting with Bolivian president:
Sanctions have roots in weak logic of powers
Hegemonic powers' sanctions and pressures against nations have roots in their weak logic toward independent states, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here on Tuesday.
President made the remarks in a meeting with the Bolivian President Evo Morales.
'Sanctions can't affect the nations' desire to be independent from world powers.'
Referring to the similar stances of Tehran and Bolivia in achieving the goals of Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), Dr.Ahmadinejad stressed that the movement needs a new structure to fulfill its ideals.
'Iran and Bolivia will stand together as two brothers; International powers themselves are facing internal social and economic problems and as a result, they can't interfere in other countries' internal affairs and this is an opportunity for the independent states to progress forward,' Iranian president noted.
Bolivian president, for his part, declared his support for the 16th Summit of the Non-Aligned Movement resolution in Tehran and congratulated Iran's success in holding the high-level summit.
Morales called also for the expansion of relations with Tehran in all fields.
