KABUL -- Iranian Minister of Economy and Finance Tahmasb Mazaheri and head of the Chamber of Commerce of Afghanistan Mohammad Avaz Fadaei, discussed ways of boosting commercial ties during two days of talks held in Kabul.

Improving two-way commercial cooperation to keep up with the commercial standards of the market as well as establishing joint trade and construction companies were among topics discussed, IRNA reported.

The two sides also agreed to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to establish a joint chamber of commerce.

Mazaheri, heading a large economic delegation from among Iranian traders and private industrialists, left Tehran for Kabul Friday morning.

"The aim of the visit is to follow up the execution of agreements reached between Iran and Afghanistan during interim Afghan leader Hamid Karzai's trip to Tehran in February," Mazaheri said.
