The Iranian speaker described Arce's visit to Tehran “very important and constructive” at the current juncture, particularly regarding the ongoing developments in the region, Majlis news agency (ICANA) reported.

“Iran's Majlis and the government have a positive outlook on the expansion of the cordial relations between the Islamic Republic and Bolivia in all fields,” he said.

According to the MoU signed by parliament speakers of Iran and Bolivia, the two sides agreed to strengthen mutual relations, hold regular consultations and exchange visits between parliamentary delegations.
