The principal of the University of Religions and Denominations said: “I am well-known for world of academic sciences and religion but unknown for political and economic one.”

“The University of Religions and Denominations over the past twenty years has made lots of science and communication achievements. In fact, it has been more prominent than its capacity.” he said

The principal of the University of Religions and Denominations continued:” South Korea’s relations with Iran were very good in the past. Both Iran and South Korea were oppressed. Even now, if foreign countries do not interfere, the two countries will enjoy friendly ties. Our relations with the East are very historical. We have had a relationship with China for 5000 years and with Southeast Asia a very active relationship throughout history. The relationship between states is temporary, but the relationship between nations is permanent.”

We need to improve our ties and defuse the enemies` interferences.”  Hojat-ul-Islam Wal-Muslemin Seyyed Abul-Hassan Nawwab added
