Stressing the need for drawing up a roadmap for long-standing ties and determining the areas of cooperation, he also called for optimal use of capacities for promotion of bilateral relations.
"Although the level of exchanges between the two countries is low, it can be increased by holding a seminar on commercial opportunities and making the private sectors acquainted with the existing capacities," he said.

Referring to Cambodia's membership in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), he also said that it can play a crucial role in deepening commercial ties between Iran and other members of the union.
