Iran president on tour of Persian Gulf states, seeks security pact
May 13, 2007, 8:31 GMT
Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad left Sunday for Abu Dhabi for a three-day state visit, the first ever by an Iranian president to the United Arab Emirates.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Mohammad-Ali Hosseini said Ahmadinejad's state visit to the UAE and later Oman is aimed at expanding ties and discussing the prospects of a security pact between Iran and the Persian Gulf sheikhdoms.
Iran and the two Persian Gulf sheikhdoms had potential to further expand relations and prepare grounds to maintain regional security through a regional security pact, Hosseini said.
There are about half a million Iranians in the UAE and annual trade volume stands at 13 billion dollars, 20 per cent of which belongs to Iran's non-oil exports to the UAE.

Time to hang the inbred called the goose. Then nuke him for good measure. This animal knows too much about perverts and perversion not to be one of their very own. His stench is stifling.
His daughter likely has more hair on her face than he does on his butt--just another stinky-lefthand, mouth breather.---You know he's a ASSCLOWN---lol

There seems to be more genuine decency and statesmanship in this Amedi Nejad guy than those unelected corrupt Royal families of the Gulf region.
