ForMin Comanescu was welcomed by Islamic Republic of Iran President Hassan Rouhani
Romanian Foreign Affairs Minister Lazar Comanescu was welcomed on Tuesday by Islamic Republic of Iran President Hassan Rouhani, in the context of the official visit he is paying to Iran.
According to a release sent by the Foreign Affairs Ministry (MAE), Minister Lazar Comanescu hailed the policy of openness and revival of cooperation with the international community promoted by the Rouhani Administration, which led to the resumption of the political contacts between the foreign affairs ministries on bilateral, regional and global common interest matters.
"The Romanian dignitary voiced his conviction that signing the nuclear agreements with Iran and the debut of the process of lifting the international sanctions will have a particularly positive impact on relaunching the Romanian-Iranian relations on all levels," the release reads.
According to the cited source, the two dignitaries appreciated that the two countries have the necessary potential and opportunities to give a new dimension both to the economic relations and to the cultural-scientific contacts, as well as in other common interest areas, such as education, cooperation within international organisations.
During the meeting they also highlighted the opportunities emerging from Romania's status as European Union member state in the development of the bilateral cooperation.
The Romanian minister said that Iran is an important partner to Romania, both on a bilateral level, through the economic and human potential of the two countries, and on a regional level, through the strategic positions held by the two states in the geographic areas which they belong to and through the contribution each can bring to solving the regional problems (Syria, Yemen, Iraq, the fight against Daesh) and the combat of terrorism threats.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry shows that the two dignitaries underscored the importance of the bilateral cooperation on an academic and business communities' level, with a particular emphasis on the industrial, energy, petrochemical, oil and gas, agriculture, transport, education, IT&C and research and development areas.
