High-Level Delegation Meeting Strengthens Educational Ties Between Iran and Venezuela
Caracas, Venezuela – In a landmark meeting held at the prestigious Andres Bello Catholic University of Venezuela, Amin Ansari, the Secretary-General of The Youth Organization of Human Rights of the Islamic Republic of Iran, engaged in a pivotal discussion with Arturo Peraza, the university’s president. This significant event underscored the potential for bilateral scientific cooperation between Iran and Venezuela, reflective of the broader historical and cultural exchanges that span centuries.
During the meeting, Mr. Ansari highlighted Iran’s enduring legacy as a cradle of civilization, comparing it to other monumental civilizations such as those of Mesopotamia and Ancient Egypt. "Iran’s civilization is one of the three glorious civilizations in human history," he proclaimed, emphasizing Iran’s pioneering contributions to various fields, including science and technology, that have profoundly advanced human progress.
The discussions also gravitated towards the geopolitically sensitive issue of Gaza and Palestine. Mr. Ansari pointed out the mobilization of American academics in protest against their government’s policies, which he attributes to the ongoing atrocities perpetrated by the Zionist regime. He remarked, "The continuation of the Zionist regime’s crimes against the oppressed people of Gaza and Palestine has ignited a protest movement among American students, aligning them with the Resistance Front."
He cited the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution’s letter to American students as a clarion call, reinforcing the legitimacy of the Palestinian resistance. Ansari opined that the tragedy in Gaza unmasked the intrinsic Zionist inclinations of Western civilization, suggesting that the solidarity movements in the West mirrored those in Gaza and the broader resistance against Zionism.
Arturo Peraza, in his address, extended his gratitude to Mr. Ansari for his engagement with the Catholic University. He accentuated the importance of such international academic dialogues, remarking, "The meeting of Iranian and Venezuelan universities is crucial for cultural and scientific exchange, fostering development and progress." He lauded Iran’s venerable academic tradition, a nod to the ancient universities like Jundishapur, which stands as a testament to Iran’s grand and influential civilization.
Peraza echoed the concerns about Palestine, advocating for the elimination of all forms of discrimination and oppression. He expressed pride in disseminating Ayatollah Khamenei’s letter among university professors and students, affirming that he would champion the inclusion of its key excerpts in the final statement at the upcoming meeting of Venezuelan university presidents.
The meeting represents a profound moment in the annals of Iran-Venezuela relations, further cementing the historical bonds shared between these two nations and opening new vistas for collaboration in the fields of education and human rights.
