The South African ambassador said that Iran is an important economic power in the Middle East and it has access to the Central Asian and Eurasia countries as well as Silk Road.
In April 2016, Tehran and Pretoria in a joint statement issued at the end of South African President Jacob Zuma's official visit to Iran underlined the need for fast growth in expansion of ties and mutual cooperation.
