Tehran, IRNA – Deputy culture and Islamic guidance minister for legal, parliamentary and provincial affairs said in a meeting with Brunei ambassador that Iran and Brunei share a lot in cultural field, which pave the path for broader comprehensive cooperation.
Mahammad Hashemi said in his Tuesday evening meeting with Ambassador Haji Ismail ben Haji Abdul Manap that such cooperation can benefit the two nations in the cultural field, such as film, theater, music, and the tourism industry.
Hashemi said that such bilateral meetings can meanwhile serve as the opening of a new chapter in mutual cooperation and interactions between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Brunei, because both countries favor deeper relations.
He said that the Culture Ministry’s responsibility is commissioned to activate and organize for the holding of the Joint Economic Commission of Iran and Brunei, adding that the two countries have numerous capacities in economic, technological, agricultural, scientific, and cultural fields for expansion of cooperation.
“By activating the Iran-Brunei Joint Economic Commission we can use those potentials in line with materializing the objective of Brunei 2035 Perspective objectives,” added Hashemi.
Ambassador Abdul Manap, too, said in the meeting that the Iran-Brunei Joint Technical Committee was held in Iran eight years ago, and in the framework of the joint committee the two countries can implement joint programs.
He said that the bilateral economic relations, too, will be expanded after the joint economic commission that the Iranian deputy minister had earlier referred to.
