TEHRAN (FNA)- The Iran-Cambodia parliamentary friendship group left Tehran for Phnom Penh on Saturday night to discuss bilateral relations and other issues of mutual interest with Cambodian officials.
"During the three-day trip, the two sides will hold discussions on inter-parliamentary relations and discuss paving the ground for developing ties and other related issues based on the Islamic Republic of Iran's view on the East Asian countries," Head of the delegation Mohsen Kouhkan told FNA.
The delegation, consisting of five Iranian legislators, is also due to meet with the Cambodian prime minister, foreign ministry officials, their Cambodian counterparts and members of some of the country's parliament commissions.
Iran and Cambodia have recently expanded their parliamentary relations. Earlier this month, Cambodia's Parliament Speaker Heng Samrin called for the development of all-out ties between Tehran and Phnom Penh.
Speaking in a meeting with Iranian Ambassador to Cambodia Seyed Javad Qavam Shahidi, the Cambodian speaker lauded the achievements made by the Islamic Republic of Iran in political, economic and high-tech fields, and underlined the necessity for the promotion of his country's ties with Iran and maximum utilization of cooperation capacities and opportunities by the two countries.
The speaker also welcomed a visit to Cambodia by Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani during his upcoming trip to the Southeast Asia.
Also during the meeting, the two sides agreed on exchange of visits by the two countries' parliament speakers as well as parliamentary friendship groups.
