MINSK, 5 December (BelTA) – Relations between Tehran and Minsk are at their peak today, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Iran to Belarus Saeed Yari said in an interview to ONT TV channel, BelTA has learned.

The ambassador recalled that Iran has been under sanctions for more than 40 years. “The collective West uses sanctions as a tool to destroy economies. And this is a flagrant violation of international norms,” Saeed Yari said.

According to him, the sanctions are a serious test for the country and people. “Yet, during this period we became much stronger, we managed to achieve excellent results in nuclear energy, nanotechnology, stem cell research and even space,” the ambassador said.

“As for Iran and Belarus, I want to say that we must support each other and fight together against unfair sanctions. The recent visit of your prime minister to Iran, and earlier the visit of the minister of foreign affairs confirm that relations between Tehran and Minsk are at the peak today,” said Saeed Yari.
