Rome, June 4, IRNA - President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said here Tuesday that as two civilized and influential states, Iran and Japan should get prepared for a world without the US.

"The US domination is on the fall. Iran and Japan as two civilized and influential nations should get ready for a world minus the US," President Ahmadinejad told Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda on the sidelines of the UN food summit on Tuesday.

President Ahmadinejad also called for long-term cooperation between Iran and Japan.
