Mon Jun 27, 2011 6:52AM. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (R) and Cuban Vice President Esteban Lazo Hernandez meet in Tehran on June 26, 2011.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad says Iran and Cuba stand firm against imperialism and the extremism of bullying powers, redeeming Tehran's pledge to defend the rights of nations.

“Iran and Cuba are in a strong anti-imperialism front and will resist imperialism and arrogance along with independent and freedom-seeking countries,” IRNA quoted President Ahmadinejad as saying in a meeting with Cuban Vice President Esteban Lazo Hernandez in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Sunday.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will stand by independent and justice-seeking countries until their final victory and is ready to transfer its experience in various fields to these nations,” he added.

The Iranian chief executive stressed the importance of bolstering Tehran-Havana cooperation in cultural, political, economic and scientific fields and stated that the two sides can play a key role in changing international tyrannical relations in favor of peace and justice.

The Cuban vice president, for his part, said Havana pursues the policy of expanding cooperation with Iran, stressing that his country “has no fear of imperialist powers, including the United States.”

Hernandez added that enemies are irked by the consolidation of ties between Iran and Cuba and resort to various ways to prevent the two countries from promoting cooperation.

“However, ties between the two countries is very strong and enemies cannot damage it,” he concluded.
