He was speaking at the inauguration of the Iran Expo Exhibition in Tehran on Saturday.
Aliabadi said the most important goal of the exhibition is to expand international cooperation among participating countries.
He added that holding an exhibition with the participations of guests from 100 countries will help us get to know each other and will pave the way for doing business with ease.
According to the Iranian minister, neighboring, African and Muslim countries as well as other friendly nations are the priority for expanding relations.
