TEHRAN - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari held a trilateral meeting in Tehran late on Friday.
The meeting was held a day ahead of the two-day International Conference on Global Fight against Terrorism, which is scheduled to open in the Iranian capital today. Six presidents together with high-ranking officials from sixty countries will be attending the conference.
During the meeting, Ahmadinejad, Karzai, and Zardari explored ways to further increase bilateral and regional cooperation.
They also discussed a range of issues, including terrorism, drugs, and extremism.
In the meeting, Ahmadinejad told Zardari, “The hegemonistic powers are making attempts to sow discord among regional nations with the main objective of preventing Muslim countries from making progress.”
“We should prepare the ground so that Muslim countries will become powerful because if we become powerful, the situation will change, and no country will allow itself to invade the region,” Ahmadinejad stated.
He also said that Muslim countries should maintain unity and adopt a common stance toward enemies.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ahmadinejad said that there is no obstacle in the way of enhancement of ties between Tehran and Islamabad.
Zardari stated that certain Western countries are seeking to extend their economic dominance over the region, and regional countries should stand against them
