TEHRAN -- Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki has said Iran and Brazil are able to help resolve various international problems and should push for global nuclear disarmament through cooperation.

At a meeting with Brazilian Deputy Foreign Minister Roberto Jaguaribe Gomes de Mattos in Tehran on Wednesday, Mottaki said Iran and Brazil can play major roles in the new world.

The Iranian foreign minister expressed optimism about the prospects for increased cooperation between the two countries in the energy and commercial sectors and the implementation of joint projects in other countries.

He also stated that the United States is facing many problems in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Palestine and should reconsider its policies in the region.

Jaguaribe said a high-ranking Brazilian delegation will be visiting Iran in the near future to pave the way for further cooperation in various areas.

He expressed support for Iran’s right to access to nuclear energy meant for peaceful purposes and emphasized that it is not acceptable that certain states are seeking to impose sanctions on other countries to deprive them of the right to civilian nuclear energy programs.

The Brazilian deputy foreign minister also said that problems in different parts of the world should only be resolved by the regional countries themselves
