New Iranian Ambassador to Bishkek Manouchehr Moradi Tuesday described as common Iran and Kyrgyzstan’s view points on fighting terrorism, extremism and drug trafficking in Afghanistan.

“In addition we can cooperate within the framework of Shanghai and ECO (the Economic Cooperation Organization) at macro-scale levels in the region,” Moradi told FNA.
