Araqchi told Japanese Deputy Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism that volume of the two-way trade is expected to remain in the same level in the current Christian year too.

He said Iran-Japan relations date as back as 1,500 years and the two countries have been linked with each other through the Silk Road as is testified by the cultural relics kept at Japanese museums.


He said Iranian parliamentary delegation’s visit to Japan is hoped to serve as a suitable ground to share experience in various fields.

He added that his entourage’s visit to Japan is hoped to serve as a means for expansion of mutual cooperation.
