Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Tuesday that Tehran and Jakarta have agreed to make additional steps towards stronger economic and financial cooperation through the use of national currencies in mutual trade and financial transactions.

"The target set for the development of trade and economic relations between the two countries … is $20 billion. If we do not describe the sum in [US] dollars, we should say that [we mean] an equivalent of this sum in [Indonesian] rupiahs and [Iranian] rials, which are the national currencies of the two countries. And we have decided to cooperate with this country and other countries using our national currencies," Raisi said at a meeting with his Indonesian counterpart Joko Widodo, as quoted by the Tasnim news agency.
