Ahmadinejad:Certain powers want to deprive nations of nuclear right
Kampala, April 24, IRNA – President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who is in Kampala on an official visit, said certain powers, with the motto of non-proliferation, want to deprive nations of their right to gain access to nuclear energy.
Speaking in a dinner banquet hosted by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni, Ahmadinejad said some people are taking nuclear energy equal to nuclear bomb and are trying to prevent use of this clean and inexpensive energy by independent nations.
All nations have the right to use peaceful nuclear energy and nobody has the right to deprive them of such indisputable right, he said.
President Ahmadinejad went on to say that Iran wants all atomic weapons in the world to be eliminated and those countries which have stockpiled thousands of such weapons are in priority.
Ahmadinejad reminded that time for imposing dual standards is over and now it is the era of independent governments and nations.
Comparing fossil fuel with nuclear energy, the president said that
7m barrels of crude oil is needed to produce 1,000 mega watts of electricity by fossil fuel in a year. Since the price of each barrel is $80, it would cost $560m to produce 1,000 mega watts, while in a nuclear power plant, producing this amount of electricity would cost only $60m.
Concerning relations between the two countries, he said that Iran and Uganda have more capacities for development and there is no limit to expanding ties.
He called for further bilateral visits of officials and businessmen of both countries to be expanded, adding that although geographically, the distance between both countries is too far, but our hearts are very close.
Ahmadinejad stressed that Iran and Uganda, in international organizations, support each other's rights and try together to create a world order based upon justice.
He added that both countries, in their political interactions, are supporting peace, justice and nations' rights.
Ahmadinejad also appreciated Museveni's transparent and decisive stances concerning Iran.
Museveni in his speech, said that Iran’s nuclear activities are acceptable according to international agreements and they are in the fields of medical science and energy.
Uganda is currently a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council./end
