Bakai: The elections in Brazil marked the failure of foreign incentives and pressures Foreign Ministry spokesman: The Islamic Republic of Iran respects the decision and conscious choice of the people of Brazil and welcomes the victory of the elected president of this country. The holding of these important elections showed that the majority of the Brazilian people decided on the course of government and the political future of their country based on national interests without succumbing to foreign influences and pressures. Respecting the will of nations is the most principled approach in the international arena, and the Islamic Republic of Iran emphasizes the development of bilateral relations with Brazil in a framework of mutual respect.
