He also said: “Powerful Iranian companies are ready to cooperate in infrastructural projects in Togo”.
Stressing the importance of Iran-Togo consultation and cooperation in international organisations for resolving global issues, Dr Rouhani said: “Threats to peace, stability and security in the world on one hand, and violence, extremism and terrorism on the other, are two important challenges that the world is dealing with today”.
