TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi and Mauritanian Prime Minister Moulaye Ould Mohamed Laghdaf in a meeting in Tehran discussed the measures which need to be taken to set up the two countries' joint economic commission.
During the meeting held after the International Conference on Global Fight against Terrorism on Sunday, the Iranian top diplomat announced Tehran's readiness to cooperate with Mauritania in hygiene, medication, higher education, technological know-how and cultural exchanges.
Laghdaf, for his part, praised Iran's special position in the Muslim world, and expressed pleasure in his visit to Tehran.
He also called for the further expansion of ties between the two countries.
"I am certain that given the existing potentials, the relations between the two countries will expand and we seek to accelerate our cooperation in areas of agriculture, fishery, industries and mines as well as transportation," the Mauritanian prime minister added.
Iran has in the past few years shown increasing willingness to expand ties and cooperation with Africa and offered to transfer experience and technology to several African countries.
Since taking office in 2005, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has striven hard to maximize Tehran's relations with the African continent.
Tehran has prioritized promotion of its economic and political ties with the African states and the country is now considered as one of the African Union's strategic partners.
