Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said that countries which build walls around themselves will be destroyed from inside and will achieve no progress.
He made the remarks Saturday in a meeting with heads of knowledge-based companies and startups in Tehran.
Pointing to Trump’s administration insistence on building physical walls along its southern borders, Rouhani said, “they do not know that all their progress were because of the fact that there existed no walls for many years.”
If there is any growth and progress in the United States, it is because of the presence of different nationalities in the country, he highlighted.
President described working towards self-sufficiency as a practical fight against imperialism and major powers, adding, “sanctions are aimed at reducing the growth of technology in our country … but we need to use sanctions as an opportunity for growth.”
