Syria’s Al-Asad Among World Leaders To Congratulate Ahmadinejad On His Landslide Victory
13 June 2009
Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Saturday congratulated Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on his landslide re-election victory, calling for stronger ties between the allies. Assad sent Ahmadinejad a cable in which he also expressed his "best wishes for progress and prosperity" to the Iranian people, state-run SANA news agency said. The Syrian president "expressed his faith that relations and cooperation will be reinforced between Syria and Iran," which are bound by several economic and military agreements, SANA said. Assad stressed that the two countries "work together to achieve lasting and comprehensive peace in the region and the world." Ahmadinejad won a crushing victory in Iran's presidential vote and a second four-year term, according to official results, defeating key rival Mir Hossein Mousavi. For his part, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez telephoned Ahmadinejad to congratulate him on his electoral win, Chavez's office said. The victory "represents the feeling and commitment of the Iranian people to building a new world," Chavez said in a statement. Interior Minister Sadeq Mahsouli said on Saturday that Ahmadinejad has won the presidential election with 62.63 percent of the vote. In Lebanon, Foreign Minister Fawzi Salloukh said he hoped Ahmadinejad’s victory would be a reassuring factor to solve outstanding issues with the West “and to serve peace, stability and security in the region.”
