Iran, African Union ties to improve

During separate meetings with deputy chairman of the union as well as three commissioners of science and technology, social affairs and agriculture and rural economy, he explored avenues for enhancing cooperation between Iran and African Union in various domains.

The union’s officials welcomed regular cooperation with Iran and underlined the union’s readiness for consolidating ties with Tehran.

Last year, commissioners for peace and security and social welfare as well as science and technology paid separate visits to Tehran and signed three MoUs with their Iranian counterparts.

Director General of Foreign Ministry for African Affairs who earlier visited Uganda and Burundi on his official trip to Africa arrived in Ethiopia on Sunday for talks with African Union and the country’s officials.
