Ambassadors Express their Points of View about TUMS

Bilal Emre Biral, Second Secretary of the Turkish Embassy in Iran, thanked the invitation and congratulated Norooz.

He added that Turkish Embassy is ready to build cooperation between Turkish universities and Tehran University of Medical Sciences.

Atigh Saheb Zadeh, Second Secretary of Afghanistan Embassy, congratulated Norooz and hoped that medical Tehran-Kabul ties be developed via this meeting.
