TEHRAN (FNA)- Iranian President Hassan Rouhani in a meeting with new Indonesian Ambassador to Tehran Octavino Alimudin on Tuesday underlined the need to expand mutual cooperation to solve problems in Islamic countries.

"Iran and Indonesia as the two important Muslim world states which introduce the moderate Islam should make their utmost efforts today to show the reality of Islam against what is displayed of Islam by certain extremist and terrorist groups and they should have more cooperation and integrity to settle the existing Muslim world problems," Rouhani said during the meeting in Tehran today.

Elsewhere, he underscored increasing mutual cooperation between Tehran and Jakarta in economic, scientific, cultural, technological, technical and investment fields, and said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran sees no obstacles to developing cooperation and relations with Indonesia."

Alimudin, for his part, stressed the need for using opportunities to strengthen and deepen bilateral relations, and called on Iran to share its experiences with Indonesia in the field of technical and engineering services.
