In the ceremony devoted to reviving the ECO Park in Tehran, Rasoul Mohajer referred to the meeting of the Foreign Minister Council of ECO in 2013 in Tehran, where Iran’s Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif described the park and its adjacent Nowruz Park as representing two identification symbols culturally linking ECO states to each other.
Mohajer said that seasonal ceremonies would be held and symbols of member states would be erected in ECO Park.
He also proposed that other member states name some public places after the organization as means of forming a cooperation culture among these countries.
Established in 1985 in Tehran by Iran, Turkey and Pakistan, the ECO expanded in 1992 to include seven new countries Afghanistan, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
The ECO Park has been located in Abasabad hills in central Tehran. It spans an area of 27,000 square meters and is adjacent to Nowruz Park.
