A military delegation from Iran also accompanied Iranian MP`s during the visit and negotiated North Korea's officials, Servat said.

Reminding that on June 14 on Iranian presidential elections, Hassan Rouhani secured over 50 percent of votes, winning the elections.

Iran and North Korea are believed to be cooperating closely, technically and financially, in their development of nuclear arms, missiles and other weapons of mass destruction (WMD).

They have both been sanctioned by the international community, which sees the countries as global security risks.
