TEHRAN (FNA)- Japanese Foreign Minister Fumio Kishida at the head of a politico-economic delegation will arrive in Tehran on Monday morning to exchange views on the development of ties with senior Iranian officials.

During his two-day stay, the Japanese minister will confer on setting up a bilateral committee to deal with energy and infrastructure development and other economic issues with Iranian authorities.

He will also discuss endorsement of a bilateral investment treaty with Iran in a bid to tap into the commercial potential of the Iranian market for Japanese firms.

In addition, Kishida plans to meet his Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif.

In late September, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in a meeting with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in New York said his government supports exchanges between private sectors in Iran and Japan and enforcement of trade agreements.

The Japanese prime minister, at this meeting, stressed concentration of measures on exact implementation of nuclear agreement with the Group 5+1 (the five permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany) and said Tokyo is interested in the execution of its content.

"Tokyo wants to be active in supporting the prosperity of Iran's economy," he said.

Rouhani said Japan is a strategic partner of Iran and diplomatic, economic and cultural relations between the two countries shall further increase.

"The nuclear deal is an opportunity for strengthening of bilateral relations,' he added, 'We can cooperate in transport, environment, cultural and scientific issues and modern science including in the field of peaceful nuclear energy."

"Scientific and technical centers in Iran and Japan must be in contact and increase their ties," he said.
