A prominent Mexican lawmaker voiced her country's strong opposition to the start of new wars in the Middle-East region.
According to the Islamic Republic embassy in Mexico City, the issue was raised during a meeting between Iran's ambassador to Mexico Mohammad Hassan Ghadiri Abyaneh and chairwomen of the Mexican Senate's Foreign Policy Commission Rosario Green.
During the meeting, Green said that Iran's ancient artifacts exhibition titled 'Pardis, a piece of Paradise' in Mexico's Anthropology Museum played a significant role in the development of the two countries' cultural ties, and underlined that Mexicans attach much value to Iran as they also enjoy an ancient civilization similar to the Iranians.
"Considering their long historical backgrounds, the two nations should have extensive relations," she said, adding, "To do so, we should introduce our pasts and presents."
The legislative official further described the ancient civilizations and cultures of Iran and Mexico as a good link connecting the two nations, and said that the two states can expand their long-term political ties on the basis of the said link.
"Mexican people have a good view about Iranians," she said.
Rosario Green also welcomed the Iranian envoy's proposal for the expansion of cordial ties between the two countries in all the various grounds, including parliamentary relations, and said, "Iranian embassy can count on my cooperation and the cooperation of the Mexican Senate's Foreign Policy Commission for developing ties."
She also reiterated her opposition to the emergence of any new war in the Middle-East, reminding the peaceful nature and spirit of the Mexican nation.
To conclude her remarks, the Mexican lawmaker described Iranian hand-woven carpet as a charming piece of art, and voiced her support for the export of Iranian carpets to the Mexican market. |
