After a warm welcoming, Dr. Nekoofar, Director of International Relations, Accreditation and Ranking (DIRAR), presented a brief about the history of TUMS focusing on its international counterparts. He also reminded of attendance of foreign countries ambassadors in TUMS international Day on March 5, 2015 which was a symbol of cooperation of TUMS with international counterparts.

The cooperation between Iran and France in the field of health and medical education would benefit the two countries in the area of education and research, he said. He also suggested arranging the visit of a delegation from France in May or June to foster collaboration.

Both sides showed their interest toward setting joint workshops, conferences, seminars and further steps may include exchange of faculty staff and students.

At the end of the meeting Mr. Pierre André Lhôte expressed his satisfaction with these arrangements and on behalf of the French part said they are ready to receive TUMS’s ideas and suggestions.
