They were inked at the 5th meeting of the Iran-Senegal Joint Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Commission.
Head of Iran-Senegal Joint Economic, Scientific, Technical and Cultural Cooperation Commission Mohammad Ali Nikbakht, who is Iran’s minister of agriculture, held expert-level talks in Dakar with his Senegalese counterpart to discuss bilateral ties and issues of mutual interest.
During the meeting, the two sides emphasized their determination to expand bilateral relations in various fields.
Iran is ready to share its fruitful experiences and technical know-how with Senegal without any restriction, Nikbakht stressed.
Inviting Senegal's minister of agriculture to visit Iran, Nikbakht pointed out that his ministry is ready to hold training courses and transfer technical know-how and knowledge to Senegalese farmers and agricultural activists.
The agriculture minister of Senegal, for his turn, hailed Iran’s outstanding achievements despite the sanctions imposed against the country and added that Iran is a symbol of resistance and independence for Muslim nations across the globe, Mehr News Agency reported.
Not only the sanctions imposed against Iran did not create any hurdle for its development, but the country became more developed and turned the threats of sanctions into opportunities, he underlined.
The 5th edition of the Iran-Senegal Joint Economic Cooperation Commission was held in Dakar on December 20 after a 12-year hiatus.
