Iran and Turkey have in recent years boosted their cooperation in the different fields of economy, security, trade, education and culture.
Earlier this month, Iranian and Turkish officials signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand mutual cooperation in different industrial fields, specially in textile, auto-manufacturing and power industries.
The agreement prioritizes cooperation in a number of fields, namely auto-manufacturing and supply of spare-parts, construction industry, agricultural machinery and equipment industries and wood and paper industries.
Also in the document, Iran and Turkey stressed the necessity for supporting private sector and international trade in a bid to make reciprocal investments and investment in third countries.
