I suggest the formation of a joint working group with the presence of relevant ministers to accelerate economic relations and regular meetings of the joint economic commission can be very effective in improving the level of commercial relations between the two sides, Raisi told the participants in the meeting.

"Educated and motivated young forces are the greatest capacity of the two countries for progress, and Iran is committed to improving the level of cooperation”.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian president pointed to suitable infrastructures available in the two countries to boost cooperation in various domains but called on Sri Lankan officials not to submit to outside pressures and compromise with their national interest.   

Westerners do not want our progress and that is why they resort to several tactics, including human rights allegation to put pressure on independent countries and therefore it is necessary for Iran and Sri Lanka to strengthen their regional and international cooperation to neutralize such pressures, he added.
