Larijani: Independent Policies Can Help Quicken Asia’s Economic Progress

Regional crises and the rise of terrorism have hampered the economic progress of Asia and the only path toward prosperity is to make decisions independent of major powers that benefit from chaos in the eastern world, Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said on Thursday.  
“Security in some parts of Asia is in shambles, which has been mainly caused by major powers and the Zionist [Israeli] regime. By provoking crisis and breeding terrorism, they have created a situation that has practically hindered the economic progress of those regions,” he told the 11th plenary session of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly in Istanbul, Turkey.
