Iran, Turkey Stress Cooperation in Humanitarian Activities
TEHRAN, May 4 (FNA)- Iran and Turkey's Red Crescent Officials on Tuesday underlined the two countries' willingness to boost bilateral cooperation in humanitarian fields.
The issue was raised in a meeting between Head of Iran's Red Crescent Society Aboulhassan Faqih and his Turkish Counterpart Takin Kucucali on Tuesday.
During the meeting, the two sides called for fostering international and regional cooperation in the fields of humanitarian activities as well as medical and hygiene services.
Reminding the age-old relations between the two countries, Faqih asked for fostering ties between Iran and Turkey Red Crescent Societies.
Iran and Turkey have in recent years increased their cooperation in all the various fields of economy, security, trade, education, energy and culture.
The two sides have exchanged several politico-economic delegations during the last few months.
Turkish President Abdullah Gul in a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani in February underlined the need for the removal of obstacles to the further expansion of bilateral economic ties with Iran in a bid to boost trade cooperation between the two countries.
"The level of economic and trade cooperation between the two countries does not suit the age-old ties of the two nations and we should remove the obstacles to the development of mutual cooperation between Iran and Turkey," Gul said at the time.
