TEHRAN (Iran News) – Iran’s Caretaker of Agriculture Ministry Abbas Keshavarz held a meeting with the China Ambassador to Iran Chang Hua to discuss the expansion of agricultural cooperation.
In the meeting, Keshavarz noted that Iran and China have great potentials for increasing agricultural cooperation in a variety of fields, IRNA reported.
“The two countries have a long history of agricultural cooperation and they need to build upon the past experience and identify the current barriers in order to develop their cooperation in this sector,” the Iranian official said.
He called for further promotion of mutual cooperation with China, stressing that the country’s agricultural advances are noticeable.
The Chinese diplomat, for his part, said that Iranian agricultural products enjoy favorable quality, expressing hope that the two countries will further expand all-out relations and cooperation.
In October 2019, The Agricultural Research, Education, and Promotion Organization of Iran signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China’s Yunnan Academy of Agricultural Sciences, for cooperation in the agricultural sector.
The MoU was signed by the head of the Iranian organization, Kazem Khavazi, and head of the Chinese academy, Xuelin li, in China.
The Iranian official visited the Asian country on top of a delegation comprised of the head of Iranian agricultural organizations.
During the delegation’s visit, the Iranian officials sought to hold joint specialized committees to discuss joint agricultural projects.
