Habibzadeh made the remarks in a meeting held with provincial officials in Zanjan, northwestern Iranian province, on Wednesday.
About 14% of the figure is for Iran’s exports to Turkiye and the rest is for imports from the neighboring country, the ambassador underlined.
Referring to this year’s 12-billion-dollar trade volume between Iran and Turkiye, the ambassador said Iran plans to increase such a volume.
As he noted, both Tehran and Ankara attach great importance to strengthening bilateral relations.
