AhlulBayt News Agency: Iran and Japan have reaffirmed their commitment to expanding bilateral ties across various fields, including economic cooperation and regional discussions.
The remarks were made during a meeting between Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Japan's visiting Senior Deputy Foreign Minister Hiroyuki Namazu in Tehran on Tuesday.
Namazu traveled to the Iranian capital for the 33rd round of political consultations between the deputy foreign ministers of the Islamic Republic and Japan. The discussions covered a wide range of diplomatic, economic, and regional matters.
Araghchi emphasized the historical depth of Iranian-Japanese relations, highlighting the longstanding cultural and diplomatic bonds that have shaped cooperation between the two nations. He stressed the importance of leveraging these ties to enhance collaboration in key sectors, particularly trade and economic development.
The Iranian diplomat also welcomed the strengthening of consultations between the two countries, particularly on regional and international matters.
For his part, Namazu expressed satisfaction with the productive discussions, emphasizing the enduring and friendly relations between Iran and Japan. He reiterated the importance of maintaining continuous dialogue to deepen these ties and exchange perspectives on pressing regional and global issues.
Both officials agreed that the bilateral relationship has significant potential for expansion, particularly in areas such as economic and commercial cooperation.
The strong diplomatic relations between Iran and Japan were further underscored in 2019 when former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe made a historic visit to Tehran. His visit, the first by a sitting Japanese premier in nearly 40 years, was part of efforts to mediate regional issues in West Asia.
