"Freetown is keen to strengthen ties with Tehran," Kamara said during the meeting in Tehran on Wednesday.

He congratulated Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on his landslide victory in the June 14 presidential election.

Nahavandian, for his part, said the Iranian government is determined to boost ties with the friendly and brotherly country of Sierra Leone.

He said Iran is ready to share experiences in technological, investment, energy and mine with all friendly African states including Sierra Leone.

Tehran has prioritized promotion of its economic and political ties with the African states and the country is now considered as one of the African Union's strategic partners.
