From the Tehran Times:


Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that Iran and Egypt should make every effort to be anti-Zionist countries.

Ahmadinejad made the remarks on Wednesday during a meeting with a 45-member Egyptian delegation that attended the Fifth International Imam Khomeini and Foreign Policy Conference, which was held at the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s Institute for Political and International Studies (IPIS) in Tehran on the same day.

“We should take measures so that Iran and Egypt will be two progressive, esteemed, powerful, anti-hegemonistic, and anti-Zionist countries,” Ahmadinejad stated.

Iran and Egypt have many affinities, Ahmadinejad said, adding, “Both nations believe in God and are seeking justice, freedom, and dignity, and are opposed to any kind of humiliation.”

“Iran and Egypt have another common point and that is (having) a common enemy,” he added.

The United States and its allies, particularly the Zionist regime, are not only the enemies of Tehran and Cairo but are also the enemies of all the countries in the region, Ahmadinejad said.
