President Rouhani: No time to raise walls between nations
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, Jan 28, IRNA -- Today is the day of reconciliation and coexistence, not a day to erect walls between nations, says President Hassan Rouhani.
"Apparently, they are unmindful of the fall of the Berlin Wall years ago," President Rouhani said on Saturday, addressing the 17th International Convention of the World Federation of Tourist Guide Associations (WFTGA).
The Iranian president said even if there are any walls between nations, they should be demolished.
We need today, more than ever, to get closer to each other, engage with each other and promote unity, he said.
Tourism is like a bridge, connecting people together, the Iranian President added.
"Today is the day of friendship between neighbors and we are global neighbors becasue our cultural, scientific and civilizational ties as well as our technology-based relations that have been increasingly bringing us together prescribe," Rouhani said.
"Today no one can stand against globalization," he said.
President Rouhani said that the global business and trade have promoted proximity between countries and by annulling trade agreements we are not going to serve neither the global economy and development nor the international trade.
"We should foster more engagement between nations if we are looking for creating peace, satiability and security,' said the president.
