Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has congratulated his Brazilian counterpart on Rio de Janeiro's winning bid to host the 2016 Olympics.
“I congratulate you, the Brazilian nation and government on Rio de Janeiro's winning bid to host the 2016 Olympic,” the Iranian president said in a letter of congratulation to his Brazilian counterpart, President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva on Saturday.
“I'm convinced that the 2016 Olympic Games will be the most memorable and remarkable event with your tremendous efforts,” he added.
Meanwhile, the Iranian chief executive expressed his wish for unity among nations, especially through sports.
After successive votes, which saw Chicago and Tokyo knocked out, the delegates to the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark, in early October, accepted the Brazilian city's bid to stage the 2016 Summer Games.
The IOC delegates had earlier heard the Brazilian President saying, "it was time to light the Olympic flame in a tropical country."
