President: Global arrogance unhappy with Muslims' progress Tehran, April 17, IRNA
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Sunday that global arrogance aims to exert dominance over Islamic states and would not be happy seeing Muslim states achieve progress and dignity. The president's remarks were made at a meeting with the Indonesian People's Consultative Assembly Chairman Hidayat Nur Wahid on the sidelines of the Third International Conference on Qods and Support for the Rights of Palestinian People which wrapped its work here on Sunday. Ahmadinejad said the battle against imperialistic and hegemonic policies is the most important issue of Muslims and all independent- minded nations, and added that colonial powers use human rights and democracy as a pretext to impose pressures on independent countries. "The double-standard and discriminatory policies of certain big powers towards independent states and regimes under their control show their arrogance and reveal their intentions to vigilant and free peoples," he added. He stressed the importance of
reinforcing unity among Islamic countries and warned that the "survival of the Zionist regime depends on discord and differences among Muslim countries. "Islamic states should neutralize the enemies' political, economic and cultural plots through their vigilance." Speaking of Iran's recent nuclear success, the president assured that the "Islamic world has all the financial and human resources for development in all fields." "Development of each Islamic world is tantamount to progress and victory for all Muslims," he added. Ahmadinejad noted that "Iran and Indonesia, as two big Islamic states, can play a fundamental role in promoting the Islamic world." The Indonesian parliamentary speaker, for his part, congratulated the Iranian government and nation for having joined the world's nuclear club with their success in completing the nuclear fuel cycle. He called on Muslims to reinforce their unity and lay the groundwork for closer cooperation.
