Ahmadinejad: We hope US policy change will be substantial

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Monday that the Islamic Republic of Iran fully welcomes US change of policy and hopes these changes are real and substantial.

Speaking to industrialists and businessmen in Switzerland Chamber of Commerce, he said that 29 years ago the US severed ties with Iran unilaterally in the belief that the action could condemn and punish the country.

The US made a very grave mistake because it did not understand the Iranian nation and made blind decisions.

In the past 29 years ago the US has made several mistakes about Iran, he said adding that the US, by adopting wrong policies, insulted the Iranian nation but the Iranian nation successfully traversed the path to development.

"We do not expect deep rooted problems dating back to 30 or 60 years ago to be resolved swiftly but the fact is that the move goes in its proper track," said the Iranian president.

"We hope the US administration will choose the right path and we pray for them and will spare no efforts to materialize this," he said.

Since the Islamic Republic of Iran is the harbinger for global cooperation, the country declared about two years ago that the massive global change is on the way and voiced readiness to contribute to this, he said.
