Egypt: Ahmadinejad Says Agreement Between Iran and Nation Will Benefit Region

5 February 2013

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that Iran and Egypt both occupy prestigious and influential standings in the international community and thus cooperation between them will lead to changes for the benefit of the region.

The Iranian President told journalists at Mehrabad International Airport on Tuesday before his departure to Cairo that the aim is to reach a cooperation scheme in light of the developments that the region is witnessing.

The Islamist president intends to present suggestions of that nature at the Islamic summit in Cairo in an attempt to reach common grounds between the two regional leaders, reported the Iranian news agency.

Ahmadinejad will meet with Islamic scholars in the visit that is the first of an Iranian president to Egypt since the Islamic revolution of Iran in 1979.
