He referred to Iran as a rich country with valuable natural gas reserves, saying Japan is to bolster bilateral cooperation with Iran in the fields of investment and sharing scientific experiences. Alluding to the Iran`s high energy potentials, he urged further efforts to be made by two sides in this regard.

The volume of energy consumption will be decreased by 10 percent following the implementation of this project.
