During the visit, President Hassan Rouhani and Prime Minister Abe Shinzo had a meeting and discussed bilateral, regional and international issues of interest.

Dr Rouhani also had a meeting with senior Japanese economic figures and elites a few hours before leaving Tokyo.

Referring to the good relations between the two countries and the determination by the two governments to deepen ties, he said, "I emphasise that Iran�s doors are always open to Japanese companies and these companies can have active presence in important projects like those in Chabahar�.

He also expressed hope that the visit would further cement ties between the two countries in scientific, cultural, political and economic fields.

�It is very important for us that Iran and Japan continue their relations as two long-standing friends and do not let third-party countries disrupt these relations,� said Rouhani.
