Iranian, Venezuelan parliaments call nuclear arms international threat; focus on Palestinian issue

The Iranian and Venezuelan Parliament Speakers have, keeping in mind the broad violation of the oppressed Palestinian nation's most natural human rights, emphasized the need for launching bilateral and multilateral efforts aimed at backing up the righteous ideals of the Palestinian nation.

They also asked the international organizations, and particularly the United Nations to spend more serious efforts aimed at supporting the legitimate rights of Palestinians.

The two countries' Parliament Speakers expressed their satisfaction over the existence of excellent political relations between Iran and Venezuela and emphasized the need to respect the international laws and regulations.

They also asked for improvement of economic, educational, health, employment, and food security in their counties, and for adopting measures to uproot poverty, achieve trade ties with the world based on justice, and preserving the environment, ethnic and cultural diversity in their societies.

The communique reflects the two Speakers' belief in need for improving the living standards of the world nations through boosting international cooperation, and their proposal for multilateral measures aimed at the purpose.

It adds, "Any unilateral move by countries aimed at exertion of their hegemony is a serious threat against international peace and security and seriously condemned." The Iranian and Venezuelan Parliament Speakers agreed on the point that multilateral exchange of opinion in Latin America is a positive move toward solving that region's problems and asked for implementing the comprehensive bilateral economic-social-cultural agreement signed in the year 2004.
