TEHRAN, Aug. 23 (Xinhua) -- A forum titled "Silk Road Economic Belt" kicked off in Iran's capital Tehran on Tuesday with its focus on the friendly exchanges and cooperation between China and the Islamic republic.

China and Iran are both countries with great civilization, and the long history of friendly exchanges between them has laid a solid foundation for the Silk Road Economic Belt initiative, He Xingliang, counselor of the State Council of the People's Republic of China, said at the forum held in Tehran's Niavaran Cultural Center.

There are great potential and broad prospects in bilateral cooperation, especially in the fields of resources and technology, the Chinese official said.

For his part, Head of Iran-China Friendship Association Ahmad Mohammadi hailed the role of China-proposed Belt and Road Initiative in the interaction between Iran and China.

"The proposal has been well received in Iran, and the Islamic republic is preparing to accept the proposal," Mohammadi said.

On Tuesday, a Chinese cultural festival opened in Tehran with the aim to promote China-Iran exchange and cooperation.
