TEHRAN -- Iran’s Cultural Heritage, Tourism and Handicraft Organization (CHTHO) signed an agreement with Serbia’s Ministry of Trade, Telecommunications and Tourism to boost bilateral ties.

The agreement was signed during a meeting attended by the CHTHO Director Masoud Soltanifar and the Serbian Minister of Tourism Rasim Ljajic on December 8 in Tehran.

Iran and Serbia has a great capacity for further cooperation in different fields, including tourism, Soltanifar said.

The 9th Tehran International Tourism Exhibition (TITEX) will be held from February 16 to 19 at the Tehran International Permanent Fairground.

He said that tourism plays an important role in boosting political and economic cooperation between countries.
