President who was taking part at a press conference at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport added that the objective of the IRI Presidential Delegation’s this year’s visit of New York and presence at the UN was announcing the Islamic Republic of Iran, holding bilateral talks with heads of countries on regional and international developments, and participation in interviews with heads of the US media giants.



Dr.Ahmadinejad added, “In the year 2005 during my visit of New York I objected to the status quo of the world order there, and there were three, or four world leaders who were pro drastic changes in the status quo, but today everyone is demanding serious changes in the status quo.”



He said, “Due to these kinds of demands and protests in Islamic lands and in North America where the people are severely opposed to the status quos, a great movement has already taken shape.”



The Islamic Republic’s president stressed, “Today the stands of the Iranian nation are presented in the world much bolder and negative stands are not adopted against our stands. A group was disappointed, and it was predictable, but those who were addressed did not find any faults in our stands.”



Elsewhere in his comments in the press conference, Ahmadinejad evaluated the world media’s encounters with the stands of the Islamic Republic as “positive”.



The Iranian president who has during this trip visited Mauritania and Sudan as well and held talks with the presidents of those countries said focusing on the matter that Mauritania has very intimate ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran, adding, “My visit was in response to the visit of President Mohamed Ould Abdel Aziz of Tehran.”



He said that Iran and Mauritania are cooperating in such fields as agriculture, industries, mines, and commerce.



On his visit of Sudan, too, the president reiterated, “Sudan is among the most important African countries and the people of Sudan and Iran have very close cultural ties.” He added, “The stands of the two countries at the international scenes, too, are quite close to each other and the two countries’ officials have consultations on regional developments.”



President Ahmadinejad added, “In Sudan we reviewed the shared projects and programs which we are pursuing with them, and held talks with people of different walks of life, including the university students, the religious Ulema, the scientists, and the think tanks.”
