Stating that the countries of the American region have diverse and numerous capacities, Raisi pointed out: "There are good capacities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, thanks to the Islamic Revolution and the people, whose exchange can help expand and strengthen relations and cooperation with the countries of the Latin American region and other neighbouring countries and strengthen international interactions between these countries."
