Tehran, Jan 31, IRNA - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said on Tuesday that
mass media play an effective role in encouraging collective cooperation for
progress, justice and welfare in the international community.

He told a ceremony to inaugurate Spanish language channel, Hispan TV, that
the channel would work as a tribune for brave and intellectual people.

The President said in his speech broadcast live on national TV that all
human beings and nations need peace, security, freedom, progress and welfare
and that the goals would be achieved through cooperation, communication and
collective efforts.

President Ahmadinejad said that peace, welfare and security would be
available under the umbrella of justice and freedom, adding that restoring
justice needs collective efforts and endeavors so that the media must work
to bridge the gap between the human beings and nations.

He said that the mass media bring world people together hand-in-hand in the
struggle for freedom and justice.

'Under the current circumstances in the world, a selfish and bullying
minority has attempted to impose its will on the entire world. The nations
are in need of consultations and exchange of views to safeguard their
fundamental rights,' President Ahmadinejad said.

He hoped that the TV channel would be a tribune for the independent Latin
America and Caribbean nations.

'Viva la Paz! Viva el Pueblo! Viva America Latina!,' President Ahmadinejad
said in Spanish language at the end of his speech.
