Djibouti backs Iran's nuclear legal stance
Djibouti-Iran, Politics, 7/3/2006

Djibouti's President Ismail Omar Guelleh Saturday evening supported Iran's defense of its rights and insistence on its legitimate right to access nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.

Guelleh made the remark during a meeting with the Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on the sidelines of the 7th Summit of the African Union (AU) before Ahmadinejad wrapped up his three-day visit to this Gambian capital city.

Ahmadinejad said Iran and Djibouti share identical views regarding several regional and international issues, adding, "Solidarity among African states will lead to their strength and economic growth.

"Based on this logic, the Islamic Republic of Iran is ready to expand its cooperation with Djibouti in all fields." He said Africa enjoys rich resources and great potentials which can be used to achieve long-term objectives.

Briefing his counterpart on Iran's legitimate stance on its nuclear case, Ahmadinejad said, certain western governments adopted a political attitude regarding Iran's nuclear case.

While they make use of their own atomic bombs against innocent people, they oppose Iran's peaceful use of nuclear energy, he added.

He stressed Iran's policy is based on holding constructive talks on nuclear issue without any preconditions.

The Djiboutian president, for his part, said Iran enjoys high position in the world, thanks to efforts, determination and self-confidence of its nation.

He further praised dignity and rich culture as factors for resistance and preservation of scientific and cultural independence of the Iranian nation
