Iranian FM: Holding a tripartite economic meeting with Turkey and Saudi Arabia on agenda

He added: In this meeting, we exchanged views on all aspects of the talks and discussed the implementation of the comprehensive cooperation program between Ankara and Tehran, which was carried out a few months ago during the visit of the Turkish president to Tehran.

The Minister of Foreign Affairs stated: We both agree that in order to remove the obstacles in the way of cooperation, we must reactivate the existing mechanisms and take the necessary measures in this field through specialized meetings.

Amir-Abdollahian added: Our target for trade exchanges between the two sides is 30 billion euros and now we are in the middle of the road. The Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs for Economic Diplomacy had a trip to Turkey recently, and good agreements were reached in Ankara on the economic issue, and we emphasized those agreements in today's meeting with our Turkish counterpart.

The top diplomat stated: "In the field of transportation and transit in the region, we believe that these routes are complementary between Iran and Turkey, and in fact, transit routes are not a factor of competition, but a factor of complementing bilateral cooperation."

The Minister of Foreign Affairs stated that we believe that in addition to various bilateral issues, Turkey and Iran should have more cooperation in consular issues due to the high commute of the nationals of the two countries, and added: Tomorrow, after 5 years, a joint meeting of the Convict Transfer Committee will be held in Ankara. I hope that the citizens of the two countries will follow the rules and regulations in their travels; We also had good discussions regarding the exchange of criminals within the framework of humanitarian measures.
