TEHRAN (IRNA) -- Head of Iran-South Korea Parliamentary Friendship Group, Seyyed Hossein Hashemi, in a meeting with South Korean Ambassador to Tehran Eim Hung-Jee here on Sunday expressed his satisfaction with the growing trend of bilateral relations and hoped for further strengthening of ties in various fields.

According to a report released by Majlis Media Department, Hashemi said that given friendly ties and Iran's transparency on its peaceful nuclear activities, South Korea's approach towards the issue in the past meeting of the UN nuclear watchdog Board of Governors was hardly comprehensible.

He hoped to witness a more rational and just attitude on behalf of South Korea in the future.

Turning to the expected visit of the South Korean Parliamentary Friendship Group to Tehran, he noted that such exchange of visits and face to face talks between the officials of the two countries will have an impact on removal of possible ambiguities and will facilitate chances of cooperation.

The MP pointed to the prospect of the country's 20-year development plan and stressed the assurance of foreign investment within the framework of such a plan as its key features and declared Iran's readiness for attraction of foreign investors, in particular from South Korea.

For his part, Eim Hung-Jee expressed his satisfaction with the growing trend of bilateral ties and called for further expansion of political, economic and parliamentary relations.

The diplomat lauded the measures taken by Iran's Parliamentary Friendship Group and Foreign Ministry to reorganize the mutual economic and trade relations.

He called for further support of Majlis for bolstering of Iran-South Korea relations.
