Tehran, Oct 4, IRNA -- Italian Ambassador to Iran Giuseppe Perrone said on Friday that his country strives to preserve excellent relations between Tehran and Rome.

Addressing inauguration ceremony of an Italian company involved in designing, he added that many Iranian companies are engaged in designing and architecture.

"Iranian designers are really creative and today's ceremony is not only seeking to display works of an Italian company but also highlight history of the two countries' exchanges in the field of designing," he said.

Most of the Italian companies attend the Iranian exhibitions and a large number of them are working in Iran, he said.

Seven Italian companies participated in the International Exhibition of Agricultural Machinery and equipment held in Shahr-e Aftab from September 24-27.
