"We are ready to broaden mutual cooperation with Iran," the Sarajevo mayor said.
He reiterated that in the contemporary world, cities are playing significant roles in economic, cultural and social fields and are regarded as the engines for development in their countries.
The Iranian ambassador, for his part, said cultural and historical commonalities between the two nations and the political will of both governments for increasing level of mutual cooperation have prepared grounds for expansion of relations between the two capitals.
The Iranian ambassador also invited Sarajevo mayor to attend “Mayors of Muslim World” conference to be held in Mashhad in Northeastern Iran this spring.
In relevant remarks in late February, Bosnian Minister of Civil Affairs Adil Osmanović in a meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Bosnia Mahmoud Heidari in Sarajevo called for broadening of mutual cooperation with Iran in different areas.
“The Bosnian ministry of civil affairs is ready to take advantage of all opportunities and capacities to develop all-out relations with Iran in areas of science, culture, art, and sports,” Osmanović said.
