Tehran, Jan 31, SPA --Visiting Speaker of Indonesia's House of Representatives Agung Laksono conferred here Monday with President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on issues of mutual interests. At the meeting, President Ahmadinejad said the Islamic countries have no other alternative but to forge unity, cooperation and coordination to foil plots being hatched by their enemies. The big powers have monopolized science and technological know-how to prevent other nations from making scientific progress, he said. Ahmadinejad added that the Iranian government and nation are determined to acquire modern technological know-how and sciences such as peaceful application of nuclear energy and to this end no one can prevent it from attaining such a significant goal. It is Iran's Islamic duty to support Indonesia to get a permanent seat at the UN Security Council, he said adding that the two countries enjoy huge potentials which necessitate further expansion of mutual cooperation. Meanwhile, the Indonesian official, on his part, voiced the support of the Indonesian government for Iran's efforts to make peaceful use of nuclear technology and said "We believe that it is the legitimate rights of every nation to take advantage of peaceful nuclear technology." Exchange of visits between the two sides parliamentary officials would lead to further expansion of economic, political and cultural ties between the two countries, he said adding that the two countries have adopted identical stands on many international issues such as campaign against terrorism. --SPA 13 50 Local Time 10 50 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/322544
