Israeli officials’ remarks are of no importance : Iranian FM

TEHRAN,Nov.6(MNA)-- During a joint press conference with Burundian Foreign Minister Augustin Nsanze , Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi was also asked to comment on the remarks that Israeli President Shimon Peres made on October 4, in which he said that a military option to stop the Islamic republic from obtaining what he called “nuclear weapons” was nearer. Salehi said that there is no need to respond to such baseless remarks. On the relations between Iran and Burundi, Salehi said that the relations are good and announced that the two countries have agreed to open embassies in each others’ countries. He also stated that Tehran is keen to expand its ties with Bujumbura. The Burundian ambassador to Tehran also said that his country is interested in enhancing ties with the Islamic Republic and predicted that the embassies will be opened in January 2011.
