"The economies of Tehran and Jakarta are complementary to each other," Raisi said, adding, "The trip to the most populous Muslim country in the world, which has a special and privileged position in the region and also in the ASEAN, had different aspects."

"During this trip, 11 documents for cooperation were signed in economic, commercial, cultural and energy fields," he announced.

The Iranian President revealed that Indonesia announced "its readiness to equip 12 important hospitals in their country with Iranian medical equipment."

Raisi highlighted that "it had been more than 17 years since the amendment to the preferential tariff in the field of trade between the two countries had not been concluded," confirming that an agreement was reached during his trip.

"This agreement makes trade between the two countries and the region smoother."
