TUNIS, Sept. 10 (Xinhua) -- Tunisia and Iran voiced support for Palestinians on Wednesday and called for stronger international action over the Gaza war during talks in Tunis between their foreign ministers.

Tunisian Foreign Minister Mohamed Ali Nafti said after meeting his Iranian counterpart Seyed Abbas Araghchi that the two sides agreed to deepen cooperation in trade, medicine and other fields, according to state news agency TAP.

Nafti said the talks reaffirmed Tunisia's solidarity with Iran against threats to the Arab-Islamic region and welcomed Tehran's renewed cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency, calling it a step toward easing regional tensions.

Araghchi, on a working visit to Tunis, described relations with Tunisia as "fraternal and solid." He said the two countries were committed to expanding economic, scientific and cultural ties, and announced plans to convene the joint economic commission soon. He also invited Nafti to Tehran.

Both ministers underlined their shared stance on regional issues, in particular the Palestinian cause, and urged stronger international action to protect civilians in Gaza.

Araghchi also condemned what he called Israeli aggression against Qatar, warning that no country in the region was immune from such threats. ■
