(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) Iran's President Ebrahim Raisi has hailed the significant growth
of trade ties between his country and the Caspian Sea state of
Kazakhstan over the past year, but said that the current level of
those relations is insufficient and the two sides should step up
efforts to further expand them, trend reports citing irna .
The president made those comments on Wednesday night as he held
talks with Kazakhstan's Prime Minister Alikhan Smailov in the
capital Tehran.
The current level of trade relations between the two sides does
not match the capacities the two countries have, Raisi said, adding
that more efforts should be put into promoting those relations.
He stressed the need for investing in transit infrastructures in
areas stretching from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf region,
developing transportation to facilitate trade cooperation, and
using innovative mechanisms in money and banking sectors, as well
as promoting cooperation in the agriculture sector.
The Iranian president meanwhile called for developing cultural
ties between the two countries.
Prime Minister Smailov admitted that the current level of
relations between Iran and Kazakhstan does not match the capacities
they have, and noted that his country is interested in further
developing ties with Iran, particularly in economy.
Smailov arrived in Tehran earlier on Wednesday at the head of a
high-ranking delegation and was welcomed by First Vice-president
Mohammad Mokhber.
