TEHRAN (FNA)- Officials of Iran's Northeastern province of East Azerbaijan and the Belarusian ambassador to Iran in a meeting on Saturday explored avenues for the expansion of economic ties and cooperation between the two sides, in investment grounds in particular.
At the meeting, Governor-General of the East Azerbaijan province Alireza Beigi said the good and fruitful relations between the two countries' presidents pave a good ground for the further expansion of ties and cooperation between the two sides.
He said production of Iranian passenger car, Samand, in Belarus which has found a good market in the country and the presence and operation of Belarusian carmakers in Iran have created a positive atmosphere for the further development of mutual cooperation between the two sides.
