Iran, a suitable partner for neighbors: Economy minister

Minister of Economy Shamseddin Hosseini said on Thursday that the Islamic Republic of Iran's stable economy has created a favorable situation for its neighbors, including Afghanistan to engage in trade exchanges with Iran.


Hosseini made the remark in a joint meeting with a visiting customs delegation from Afghanistan in northeastern city of Taybad in Khorasan Razavi province on Thursday.

'We believe that friendly ties with Afghanistan is based on human values rather than having a materialistic nature,' he added.

The economy minister noted that Iran and Afghanistan have exemplary relations and both countries are willing to expand their ties in the coming years.

Head of Afghan customs delegation, Seyed Mobin Shah, said that cooperation between Iran and Afghanistan will result in progress of both nations.

'There are many opportunities in Central Asia and the region where we are situated, but we regard Iran from another perspective. We consider Iran's successes our own and its problems also our own,' he added.
