Envoy: Iran, Iraq to Further Bolster Economic Ties
Iranian Ambassador to Iraq Iraj Masjedi said on Sunday that Tehran and Baghdad are determined to further develop their economic relations and cooperation.
"The border provinces of the Islamic Republic of Iran have an important role in broadening economic ties with Iraq, so Iran's embassy will always strive to promote economic relations and cooperation," Masjedi said on Sunday in a meeting with Kermanshah governor Houshang Bazvand.
He added that the two countries are determined to further develop economic, cultural and political ties and to the same reason they have named the two sides borders as borders of friendship.
Masjedi expressed the hope that the Khosravi and Sumar border crossings in Kermanshah province would reopen and become more active after the situation returned to normal due to the outbreak of the coronavirus.
The meeting focused on ways to expand Kermanshah's trade and economic ties with Iraq, specially with Diyala, a neighboring province of Kermanshah.
In relevant remarks in December, Iranian President's Chief of Staff Mahmoud Vaezi underlined that the Islamic Republic is pursuing the policy of establishing normal relations with its neighboring countries.
"Iran has good relations with its neighbors, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan and Turkey," Vaezi said.
The senior Iranian official, meantime, called for understanding the current situation which is economic war imposed on Iran.
“Enemies are after maximizing economic problems for people and we should act in a way that the enemy understands that its maximum pressure policy does not work,” Vaezi said.
