“I hope we will witness a further enhancement of ties between the two countries for the development and welfare of the two nations in the whole fields of mutual interest by employing the available potential in the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Ecuador,” the Iranian official said.
On August 10, Ecuador celebrates the 205th anniversary of its independence from the Spanish rule.
The promotion of all-out cooperation with the Latin American countries has been among the top priorities of the Islamic Republic's foreign policy over the past few years.
In September 2013 and less than a month after taking the office, President Hassan Rouhani stressed Tehran's willingness to boost cooperation between Iran and Latin America.
Iran has forged hundreds of agreements with Latin American nations in recent years.
