TEHRAN -- Ali Larijani, the former secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, who is on tour of Egypt has underlined Tehran’s readiness for peaceful nuclear cooperation with Egypt, Al-Alam TV reported.

“Iran is ready to offer Egypt its nuclear experiences under the supervision and regulations of International Atomic Energy Agency,” Larijani said in a meeting with Egyptian prominent authors and journalists like Gamal Fahmi who is a member of the board of the Egyptian Press Union.

Mostafa Al-labbad, editor in charge of New West daily, commented on Larijai’s remarks as “optimistic”.

Egyptian journalists also stressed the need for solidarity between the two states to dilute the U.S. and Israel’s influence in the region.
