No Obstacles to Expansion of Iran-Ukraine Ties

"I have told the Ukrainian officials that the Islamic Republic of Iran does not see any restriction for the development of ties with Ukraine and it emphasizes the necessity to strengthen cooperation in the political, economic and cultural fields," Moradi told FNA on Tuesday.

He also underscored the close political ties and common views of the two countries on political issues, saying, "We are after the execution of several fundamental projects in the energy, industry and agricultural sectors."

"I am fully optimistic about the future of Iran-Ukraine ties," Moradi said.

His remarks came a few months after Ukrainian Infrastructure Minister Volodymyr Omelyan called on Iranian firms to help his country in road construction and share technical and engineering services with Ukraine.

"We need Iran's help in the infrastructure field to develop our roads," Omelyan said.

The Ukrainian minister pointed to his upcoming visit to Tehran to attend Iran-Ukraine joint transportation workgroup, and said, "Documents will be signed by both sides on transportation cooperation."
