Muscat: Omani Foreign Minister Yousuf Bin Alawi Bin Abdullah has accused big powers of trying to sow discord among regional countries.
"Big powers intend to impose their administration on the world and try to establish their own dominance over the region and the globe by causing discord and resorting to violent ways. This is a blatant mistake," Irna quoted Omani Minister from Tehran.
Alawi is in Tehran to take part in the 9th ministerial meeting of the Asian Cooperation Dialogue (ACD). Established in 2002, the ACD is a continent-wide forum that aims to consolidate Asian strengths and help integrate other regional cooperation organisations.
According to Irna report during his meeting Tuesday with the Head of Iran's Parliamentary (Majlis) Committee on Culture Gholam-Ali Haddad Adel in Tehran, the Omani minister lashed out at big powers over their hegemonic approach in the region and the world, calling it a blatant error.
The Omani minister praised consolidated relations between Tehran and Muscat and stressed the importance of promoting bilateral cooperation to counter foreign forces and resolve ongoing crises in the region.
Haddad Adel, in turn, stated that co-existence and constructive exchanges between Iran and Oman can be regarded as an appropriate model for other countries in the region.
He praised Oman's positive efforts to echo Iran's peaceful and human intentions to the world and added that Iran plays a fundamental role in restoring security and stability in the entire region.
The senior Iranian lawmaker reiterated that the Islamic Republic's "unique and undeniable" influence in regional countries, including Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon would serve the interests of all countries.
