Tehran: Iranian
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has warned that "the world's ruling
system is on the verge of collapse" as he sought to strengthen
ties with India for a global "future system based on justice and
friendship".
Ahmadinejad met visiting India's National Security Advisor
Shivshankar Menon and said: "Iran and India following a humane
view on international relations should make efforts for
establishment of the world's future system based on justice and
friendship."
"The world's ruling system is on the verge of collapse and what is
important is the way of formation of future system," he said
Monday.
"Iran and India are two independent countries which play a leading
part in international ties," he added.
Ahmadinejad also called for employment of all potentials to boost
the level of bilateral cooperation with India, ISNA, Iran's
semi-official news agency, reported.
Menon on his part said cooperation with Iran is one of priorities
for his country. "India is after establishment of strategic and
all-out relations with Iran," the Indian official said. The Indian
official also stressed further ties between the two countries in
other fields.
Menon arrived in Tehran carrying a letter from Prime Minister
Manmohan Singh addressed to Ahmadinejad. The contents of the
letter have not been made public.
Iran has shown interest to improve ties with India in recent
weeks.
The compulsions of the global oil market put Iran above Saudi
Arabia as the biggest source of India's oil needs in 2009. Oil
accounts for 75 percent of India-Iran trade.
