The countries have cooperated in a number of large industrial projects, many of them in the energy sector.[1] In December 2007, the two signed a US$6 billion deal to develop areas of Iran's offshore gas fields. In addition, Iran and Malaysia are working towards an extensive multilateral oil refinery deal with Syria and Venezuela.

Diplomatic relationship

Datuk Seri Mohd Affendi Norwawi, a minister in the department of the Prime Minister of Malaysia has said that his country maintains friendly relations with Iran. Malaysian Higher Education Minister Datuk Mustapa Mohamed, in a November 2007 meeting with Iran's Minister of Science, Research and Technology Mohammad Mehdi Zahedi, expressed his desire to reactivate a memorandum of understanding from 2003 that would allow the two countries to increase educational exchanges. Both countries are members of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and have used these forums and bilateral relations to develop political ties.
