Development of the ties between Iran and Morocco is in the interests of both nations and the region, President Rouhani said Saturday in a meeting in Tehran Saturday with Morocco’s new ambassador to Iran, Hassan Hami.
“We should tap the existing capacities and potentials to expand and strengthen ties and cooperation between the two countries,” he added.
The president went on to say that in addition to economic relations, Tehran ad Rabat can cooperate in other areas, including culture and science.
Hami, for his part, said his country always appreciates the Islamic Republic of Iran’s stances on resolution of international problems through dialogue and diplomacy.
During the meeting, the Moroccan diplomat submitted his credentials to the Iranian president.
Hassan Hami was appointed as Morocco’s ambassador to Iran after seven years of severance of diplomatic ties between the two nations.
Rabat reopened diplomatic channels with Tehran last year. Morocco’s Foreign Minister Salaheddine Mezouar had expressed his country’s determination in November to appoint an ambassador to Tehran.
