Iran President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad sent congratulations to Maldives President Mohamed Waheed on Monday for winning presidential elections, reports Iran’s president’s office website.
Waheed, former VP, was sworn in on February 7, after President Mohamed Nasheed resigned in what he later alleged was a bloodless coup d’état.
President Ahmadinejad wished Waheed success, and expressed hope that Iran-Maldives would witness expansion of justice “based on ideality, end of unilateralism in the world and promotion of friendly relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Maldives.”
President Ahmadinejad wished progress to the people of Maldives.
