'Iran and Italy have so much commonality that expansion of the level of cooperation between Tehran and Rome seems like an easy job to accomplish,' said President Rouhani in his meeting with President Sergio Mattarella.
'During the years of the past decade due to the unjustly and wrongly imposed sanctions the two countries could not use their possibilities and capabilities properly and it is now time to make up for that loss in light of cooperation and interactions to secure both nations' interests.'
'Iran and Italy can invest in various energy, industrial, mining, agricultural, scientific and cultural exchange and new technologies' fields and establish very broad cooperation in joint venture investments,' he said.
