Minister of Science, Research and Technology Mansour Gholami said that grounds are prepared for cooperation between Iran and Belarus in the field of technology, IRNA reports.
In a meeting with Belarusian Ambassador to Iran Yury Lazarchik, he announced holding of the Seventh Iran-Belarus Joint Scientific Cooperation Commission.
“Iran attaches high importance to Belarus in international relations,” Gholami said, noting that they were well-coordinated in regional and international issues.
They have also had good cooperation in the economic and trade fields, although they have the possibility for improving, Gholami said.
Given the high capacities of the two countries’ scientific centers, there are suitable areas of collaboration between the two nations, he said.
He also called on the Belarusian students to continue their studies in their favorite courses in the Iranian universities and undertake joint works with their Iranian counterparts.
Lazarchik, for his part, recalled holding of the Sixth Iran-Belarus Joint Scientific Cooperation Commission in summer 2016, saying that objectives and protocols devised during the event were significant.
During the Sixth Iran-Belarus Joint Scientific Cooperation Commission, a roadmap was worked out for the years 2018-2020 based on which mutual cooperation will improve to fulfill the objectives.
