Beirut - Lebanese Labor Minister Trad Hamadeh praised Iran's new interaction with regional countries, which started by President Ahmadinejad's speech in the 28th Summit meeting of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council in Doha, and called it in benefit of the whole region.
In an interview with IRNA on Wednesday, Hamadeh said,
"Participation of Iran's president in the meeting removed Arabs' concerns and opened a new chapter for cooperation between Arab countries with a big power like Iran."
He called leaders of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council member states to strengthen ties with Iran and continue consultations and visits with Iranian officials.
Hamadeh added, "Visits between Iranian leaders and littoral states of Persian Gulf and dialogue about regional issues can strengthen public security in the region and create confidence for expansion of bilateral or multilateral cooperation among them."
He expressed hope that President Ahmadinejad's proposals in the Doha meeting can be put in practice, because they come from regional countries's beliefs and not dictated by aliens.
The Lebanese official continued, "Now, everybody has realized the danger of unilateral policy of the USA in support of "Israel".
