Philippines Department of Foreign Affairs Undersecretary For International Economic Relations Laura del Rosario in a Sunday meeting with Information and Communications Technology (ICT) Minister Mahmoud Vaezi in Tehran said “given the presence of Philippian citizens on Kish Island, we are keen on opening an honorary consulate there.”
She deemed the easing of visas issuance an important factor for developing cooperation on trade and tourism between the two countries, adding “we will also boost our pharmaceutical cooperation with Iran seeing how the country has made remarkable progress in the field.”
Iran is one of the six countries with which the Philippines has a joint commission at a ministerial level, she said.
