Defense Minister: Iran's active diplomacy has made enemies 'passive'

Iran's active diplomacy once again made the enemies passive, Defense Minister Brigadier General Ahmad Vahidi said here on Thursday, IRNA reported.

He made the remark upon arrival from Bolivia, saying his visit to that country took place at the invitation of his counterpart Maria Cecilia Chacon.

He termed his visit to that Latin American state as 'positive.'

He reiterated that support for independent states was the main topic discussed by the Iranian delegation and senior Bolivian officials.

Expansion of all-out cooperation with Latin American countries enjoys a priority in the Islamic Republic's foreign policy, said Vahidi, adding Iran will continue its cordial relations with those states, the ALBA member countries in particular.

Referring to his short visit to Mauritania as 'positive and constructive', he said he held talks with the country's president and his counterpart on issues of mutual interest.
