Iran is interested in close relations with Egypt and the rest of the Arab world as it will be in the interest of the entire region plagued by sectarian and religious tensions, says a diplomat.
"The Islamic Republic of Iran extends its hand of friendship to all Arab and Muslim countries, particularly the Arab Republic of Egypt, which is one of the most important and influential Muslim Arab states, and believes that this friendship will benefit all regional countries and nations," Nasser Kanani, head of Iran's interest section in Cairo, said Friday in a meeting with ambassadors, officials and scholars in the Egyptian capital.
