"The Islamic Republic of Iran observes absolutely no limits for expansion of all-out relations with Tunisia, particularly in academic, scientific and research fields," Ahmadinejad said during a meeting with Tunisian Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research Moncef Ben Salem in Tehran on Wednesday.
"Any achieved advancement in Iran, or the progress that would be achieved in the future belong to the entire Muslim brethren, and we need to employ it at the service of advancement of each other, as we need to be side by side of each other and joint advancement and progress," he added.
Bin-Salem, for his part, said that the Republic of Tunisia with all its might stands by the side of the ideas and ideals of the Islamic Revolution of Iran.
"Iran and Tunisia have rich cultures, civilizations, and histories, and a divine message for the world nations, which I hope thanks to the expanding relations and cooperation between your country and ours both nations would manage to regain their past glories and prides," he said
After the victory of Tunisian revolution in July 14, 2011, Iran and Tunisia made efforts to increase their cooperation and bolster their bilateral relations in different fields.
In August 2012, Iranian and Tunisian presidents in a meeting in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, discussed the latest developments in the region and the Muslim world, specially in Syria.
President Ahmadinejad and President Muhammad Mocef Marzouki discussed bilateral ties, unity among Islamic world nations in defending Muslims and their sanctities as well as issue of Syria.
