President Hassan Rouhani said the recent implementation of the July nuclear deal and termination of anti-Iran sanctions would prepare the ground for development of relations between Tehran and Quito.
“The termination of cruel sanctions against the Islamic Republic will pave the way for the expansion and deepening of ties between Tehran and Quito,” the president said in a Friday phone conversation with his Ecuadorian counterpart Rafael Correa, Tasnim News Agency reported.
Rouhani added that Tehran welcomes promotion of cooperation in political, economic, trade and technological fields with Ecuador as an influential Latin American country.
“The Iranian nation and government attach great significance to enhancement of friendly ties and cooperation with Latin American countries,” he said.
“Iran and Ecuador, as two friendly nations and governments, will always stand by each other in international arenas.”
Correa congratulated Rouhani on the implementation of the nuclear deal and said the removal of sanctions against Iran has opened a “new chapter of victories” for the Iranian nation and government at the global level.
“Latin American countries are pleased with Iran’s victory in this case,” he said.
