Boosting ties with Georgia has become one of Tehran's foreign policy priorities, Iran’s new Ambassador to Georgia Mojtaba Damirchi told President Saakashvili during a meeting on July 24, IRNA news agency reported.

Ambassador Damirchi also said that there are more opportunities for deepening bilateral ties and noted gas deal between the two countries in January, 2006, when Georgia received an emergency gas supply from Iran after blasts destroyed two pipes in Russia’s North Ossetian Republic.
