TEHRAN (FNA)- Brazilian Minister of Science and Technology Sergio Machado Rezende lauded Iranian scientists for their progress and achievements in different fields of science and technology.

"In this trip I observed Iran's scientific activities closely and I should say that Iran has made good technological and scientific progresses in nanotechnology, biotechnology, communication and information technology and policy-making in science and technology," Rezende said on the sidelines of a ceremony to ink a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on mutual cooperation in scientific and technological fields on Monday.

Noting that both Iran and Brazil have good experts in all the aforementioned fields, he expressed the hope that partnership and cooperation among the two countries' experts would lead to their further progress and advancement.

Rezende also pointed to the upcoming visit by Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to Iran on May 16, and said that his country plans to dispatch several delegations of Brazilian researchers to Iran after Inacio's trip in a bid to pursue cooperation with Tehran.
