Iran urges Muslim countries not to depend on ‘foreigners’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s President Hassan Rouhani is calling for more solidarity between Muslim countries and for them not to depend on “foreigners” for their development.
His comments come after Washington threatened to withdraw from a landmark deal between Tehran and world powers that lifted crippling sanctions in exchange for curbs to Iran’s nuclear program.
“Only non-dependence on foreigners and increased solidarity between Muslim countries will allow us to overcome the Islamic world’s problems,” Rouhani says.
“We should… count on our own capacities” to ensure “growth and development,” he said at the opening in Tehran of a session of the parliamentary union of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation.
