A rare United Arab Emirates-Iran joint economic commission will convene in Abu Dhabi from Tuesday to Wednesday, Reuters has cited local Iranian media as reporting on Tuesday, as Tehran seeks to bolster economic ties with Persian Gulf neighboring countries. 

This is the first meeting in 10 years for the bilateral joint economic cooperation commission, with Iranian Minister of Roads and Urban Development Mehdi Bazrpash and Emirati Minister of Economy Abdulla Bin Touq Al Marri in attendance.

The Iranian government under President Ebrahim Raieis has insisted that it is seriously pursuing its good neighborliness policy and seeks to strengthen ties with the regional states.
