Cuba says Iran's nuclear right inalienable
Rodriguez, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM), was speaking to IRNA after a two-hour meeting with Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Saeed Jalili.
He said as the NAM states have stressed during their last meeting, Iran has the right to produce nuclear energy for peaceful purposes.
He stressed the importance of implementing agreements already signed between Iran and Cuba.
The Cuban official pointed to economic, trade and medical cooperation between the two countries and said that Havana has recently established a center at Karaj, Tehran Province, to produce advanced medicines.
He said Iran-Cuba Joint Economic Commission would hold a session in Havana next month.
Jalali told IRNA that expansion of cooperation with Latin American states and Cuba, in particular, is in line with Iran's principled stance.
He pointed to important position of Cuba and Iran in Latin America and the Middle East and assessed as "good" the level of bilateral ties.
Referring to a recent visit by Iran's Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki to Latin America and Cuba, Jalili said new ground has been prepared for expansion of ties in various political, economic and cultural fields.
