"We can enhance ties to a higher level through joint efforts," Atambaev said during the meeting on Wednesday.
He underlined the necessity for bolstering economic cooperation between the two countries, and said, conditions are ripe in Kyrgyzstan and the country's door is open for cooperation with Iran.
During the meeting, Najafi submitted his credentials to Atambaev, and emphasized the necessity for effective efforts to further develop cooperation between the two countries.
Iran and Kyrgyzstan have recently expanded their bilateral ties and mutual cooperation in different fields.
In December 2012, Iranian Vice-President Mohammad Reza Rahimi called on Iran and Kyrgyzstan to utilize their potentials for the further development of trade ties, adding that Tehran is interested in launching investment programs in Bishkek's economy.
Iran is ready to take "effective steps" to boost bilateral trade ties with Kyrgyzstan, Rahimi said in a meeting with Kyrgyz Prime Minister Zhantoro Satybaldiyev in Kyrgyz capital city of Bishkek at the time.
Rahimi added that Iran is willing to make investment in Kyrgyzstan to help the country's economic development.
Satybaldiyev, for his part, called for the further expansion of economic ties between Iran and Kyrgyzstan, and thanked Iran for its $1mln financial aid to Bishkek for building a sports complex in the Southern Osh City.
