(Trade Arabia) – Iran’s continuous interference in the internal affairs of other countries is causing concern to Canada, said a top official, adding that the Persian state was a threat to the region and its nuclear programme “destructive”.
“We, like countries in this region and elsewhere, are very concerned over Iran’s nuclear ambitions and we believe it is a threat to stability and security,” Canadian Foreign Minister John Baird, who held talks with Bahrain’s Foreign Affairs Minister Shaikh Khalid bin Ahmed Al Khalifa yesterday, was quoted as saying in the Gulf Daily News, our sister publication.
“The regime in Iran should refrain from interfering in other countries’ affairs and follow International Atomic Energy Agency guidelines on nuclear issues.”
Baird was speaking during a Press conference held at the Foreign Affairs Ministry, where he discussed furthering co-operation between the two countries.
