Tehran - Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad on Monday congratulated Dilma Rousseff on her victory in the presidential runoff in Brazil, official news agency IRNA reported.
"I am certain that during your presidential term, the course of progress and development in Brazil will continue," Ahmadinejad said in his message to his new Brazilian counterpart.
Ahmadinejad said he hoped that the friendly ties developed between Iran and Brazil during the presidential term of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva would not only continue but be further strengthened under Rousseff.
As Iran has found itself increasingly isolated internationally over its nuclear program, which many fear aims to produce weapons, its relationship with Brazil has strengthened.
Earlier this year, Brazil and Turkey put together an ultimately unsuccessful offer to process nuclear fuel on Iran's behalf. Iran insists its nuclear program is for peaceful civilian purposes only.
