(19 Dec 2018) Iran's president left Tehran on Wednesday for an official visit to Turkey, where he is due to hold talks with Turkish officials on bilateral and international issues. Hassan Rouhani is visiting Turkey for the 5th round of meetings of the Iran-Turkey Supreme Council on Strategic Cooperation. "Most of our neighbours, including Turkey, have clearly told the Americans that the era of dictating policies to others has ended and that America cannot prescribe anything (rules) on relations between the big countries and nations of this region, from thousands of kilometres away." During the visit, he plans to discuss trade relations between Iran and Turkey with the hope to increase trade from 10 billion (US) dollars (per year) (7.9 million pounds) to 30 billion US dollars (24 million pounds). According to IRNA official news agency, both presidents will sign agreements on mutual economic, political and cultural cooperation during the visit.
