Iran, Malaysia agree to further cooperate in different fields
Iran’s foreign minister said on Monday that Tehran and Kuala Lumpur have agreed to further cooperate in many fields including economy, sports and science.
Hossein Amir-Abdollahian made the remarks during a joint press conference with his visiting Malaysian counterpart Zambry Abdul Kadir.
Iran’s top diplomat said that a session of Iran-Malaysia joint economic commission would convene in Tehran in the near future and its sub-committees would hold regular sessions to discuss consular, trade, economic and cultural issues and the fight against terrorism.
Amir-Abdollahian said the two countries are keen to bolster scientific and technological cooperation and hold active matches in all sports fields.
Both sides also agreed to speed up the extradition of criminals and the exchange of prisoners, he said, expressing hope that the two countries would release female inmates as a first step in the near future.
