Iranian, Turkish FMs meet to discuss bilateral ties, economic cooperation

Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian met with visiting Turkish counterpart Hakan Fidan on Sunday to discuss ways to strengthen cooperation and the implementation of bilateral agreements.

At a joint press conference, Amir-Abdollahian said the two countries have set an annual trade volume target of $32.33 billion and are halfway to achieving the goal.

The talks focused on the implementation of the bilateral agreements signed between Iran and Türkiye during Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Tehran in July last year, said the Iranian top diplomat.

Amir-Abdollahian called for further cooperation between Iran and Türkiye in consular affairs to facilitate the travel of citizens from both countries.
