Rouhani also went on to refer to the new US government's withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and said: "The global community standing up to the unilateral actions of Washington means supporting international rules and regulations".
The President of Belarus said in his part that his country was determined to develop relations with Tehran, adding that Iran is a key partner for us in the region and we are determined to further promote our relations with Iran in all political and economic fields.
Alexander Lukashenko described Iran's stance towards US' unilateral withdrawal from the JCPOA wise and said: "The US' unilateral actions and violating international obligations is a threat to international laws and the international community must help to create a new balance in the world".
