Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Economic Diplomacy Seyyed Rasoul Mohajer made the remarks in an interview with IRIB on Sunday on the sidelines of a Meeting of the Foreign Economic Relations Coordination Council.
Emphasizing that Turkey is a very important trade partner for Iran, he added that trade between Iran and its neighbor exceeds $12 billion annually.
"Unfortunately, a meeting of the joint commission between Iran and Turkey has not been held in the past three years. So, it was decided at a meeting of the Foreign Economic Relations Coordination Council that this commission meeting would be held in Tehran on December 10," he said.
"In the next meeting of the Foreign Economic Relations Coordination Council, the issue of Iran's joint commissions with Sudan and Yemen will be discussed," Mohajer said.
