He also emphasized Iran's readiness to support the ACD secretariat and the ACD Cultural and Tourism Coordination Center based in Tehran.

Danvivathana informed Amir-Abdollahian about the upcoming ACD foreign ministerial meeting in September, which will take place alongside the UN General Assembly's annual meeting.

Iran will assume the presidency of the ACD following this meeting. The ACD, established in 2002, aims to unite all Asian countries and build an Asian Community without duplicating existing organizations or creating a bloc against others.

In June, during a meeting between Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi and Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoyev in Tehran, officials from both countries signed 10 cooperation documents in various fields such as trade, transportation, pharmacology, technology, agriculture, and more.
