In the message, Ahmadinejad has expressed the hope that Iran-Swiss relations will be bolstered at regional and international level.



"I believe we would witness expansion of mutual relations during your excellency's tenure," he said.



Iran calls for expansion of all-out ties at mutual, regional and international levels, Ahmadinejad said and that the two countries would try to remove common concerns and continue with cooperation to help resolve regional and international issues.



Given extensive talks on piping Iranian gas to Switzerland, President Ahmadinejad invited his Switzerland counterpart to visit Iran to sign the contract.



There is no doubt that the commercial treaty would leave significant impact on progress and welfare of both nations, he said.
