MP Underlines Enhanced Iran-Croatia Academic Ties
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – An Iranian legislator said Iran and Croatia can unleash their scientific potential in a bid to serve the interests of the two nations.
"Employing the two countries’ capabilities, particularly in the scientific, educational and academic fields, will serve the interest of the two nations,” Jabbar Kouchakinejad, head of Iran-Croatia parliamentary friendship group said in a meeting with the European country’s new ambassador to Iran, Striebor Keric, here in Tehran.
The lawmaker also voiced the parliamentary group’s backing for the broadening of ties between Tehran and Zagreb in diverse arenas.
The European envoy, for his part, emphasized that the Croatian government and parliament both care about development of relations with Iran.
Earlier in June, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in a meeting with Keric had said the economic relations between Tehran and Zagreb are far from "desirable", expressing the hope for a jump in the trade ties between the two nations.
"Iran is ready to cooperate with Croatia in the bilateral and international spheres,” the president said.
After Croatia declared independence in June 1991, Iran became the 7th country to recognize the newly independent Southeastern Europe nation. Since April 1992, the two countries have had diplomatic relations.
