During a meeting that took place on Tuesday, officials from both sides talked about organizing reciprocal and shared art exhibitions, musical and theatrical performances.

They also exchanged ideas on holding other cultural programs such as book fairs and literary meetings.

Iran has engaged in numerous cultural exchanges with respective countries in an effort to boost artistic reach of the Persian society as well as strengthen bilateral cooperation with its neighbors.
