He was addressing the inaugural function of the three-day International Seminar on "Indo-Iranian Heritage: Importance and Relevance of Persian Language and Literature", organized by the Institute of Persian Research, Aligarh Muslim University.

Mr. Nabizada pointed out that the Persian poem and literature, introduced to many nations the values of the knowledge and spirituality and rejoiced the thinkers who during many centuries has been beloved of the kings and the great personalities and had been trained by the learned persons and writers to such an extent that no language other than Persian could garner such a large number of poets and men of letters familiar to the secrets of the sweetness of Persian.

He said that there had been age old strong commercial and cultural ties between the people living in the Shush region of southern Iran and the Sindh valley as the items found from the remains of Mohanjodaro, Takshila and Harappa are similar to those found from the Iranian Plateau, Tigris and Euphrates Valley.

The Ambassador of Islamic Republic of Iran mentioned that most of the remains of the Iranian culture and civilization in the Indian sub-continent pertains to the Persian and they are well preserved in the high number of books on history, vocabulary, persian, grammar, a variety of sciences and mystic walks.

Inaugurating the Seminar, Mr. Ali Akbar Ashari, Cultural Advisor to the Iranian President said that after the Iran revolution, his country has progressed tremendously in the field of education.

Persian language and literature has been one of those strong currents like yeast in bread flour that permeates what we call Indian culture. He said that when a culture dies, a nation dies, a country dies. For a nation's identity is its culture, its language, its art, its architecture and its philosophy of life.
