Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said Tehran sees no limit to cooperation with Kuala Lumpur, considering the vast potential for economic and commercial collaboration.
Zarif made the statement in a meeting with his Malaysian counterpart Anifah Aman in Tehran on Tuesday, according to a press release by the Foreign Ministry.
Pointing to the removal of international sanctions on Iran as part of its nuclear deal with world powers, Zarif said the ground is prepared for upgrading banking ties.
The top diplomat said the joint economic commission of the two sides should give priority to finding new cooperation opportunities, especially in the fields of energy and petrochemicals.
