Shafeie noted that there is great potential for enhancing economic and trade relations between the two countries.
Touching upon the transit cooperation issues, Shafeie added that the potential of cooperation with Azerbaijan will be further enhanced after the construction of Iran's Rasht-Astara railway.
The Head of Parliamentary Georgia-Iran Friendship Group Shalva Kiknavelidze noted that Georgia-Iran cooperation covers parliamentary and government relations, as well as private sector. Next month, Iran and Georgia will hold discussions on the development of cooperation, he said.
The Georgian official stressed that sanctions imposed on Iran cause problems in enhancing the country's international relations.
