TEHRAN， Sept. 6 (Xinhua) -- Busy wiring a semi-manufactured metro car， Siamak Ghasemi was too concentrated to notice that he was being photographed.
When realizing that half a minute later， the 36-year-old gave a bashful smile. "Please， let me tidy my coverall first."
"I first put on this coverall 10 years ago，" said the young "veteran" worker of a Tehran-based factory under Tehran Wagon Manufacturing Co. (TWM)， a joint venture between Iran and China's CNR Changchun Railway Vehicles Co. and NORINCO International Cooperation Co..
"China is cutting-edge in the development of subway and railway transportation. It always has great things to share with Iran，" said Ghasemi， who was sent to China twice for training in 2007 and 2010.
"At the very beginning， we imported from China; then we learned to assemble; now， with China's help， things are getting more localized that we have our own production line，" he told Xinhua.
Set up in 2003， the factory， now with some 960 Iranian workers and a Chinese team of about 30 people， can assemble 450 metro cars and 72 double-deck cars for intercity trains， and manufacture on its own 144 units of metro car-bodies， annually. The products are supplied to Tehran and other Iranian cities like Mashhad， Tabriz， Isfahan and Shiraz.
Metros are changing the daily life of Iranians. The Tehran Metro， for instance， carries some 4 to 5 million passengers per day. Five lines， all built by Chinese companies， are in service in the capital， and two more are under construction.
Roads in Tehran are usually fully jammed， largely as a result of the oil price being as low as some 0.4 U.S. dollars per liter and the common use of cheap second-hand cars.
"More and more people prefer to travel green now，" Sadat Kharaj spoke to Xinhua while waiting at Chitgar， a station on Line 5's extension in western Tehran.
"I used to drive to work. That cost no less than one hour. But subway takes about half the time， and intervals are no more than 10 minutes，" said the 40-year-old English teacher. "But still， I think we need more lines， more frequent trains and more metro cars."
Davood Shadmani， head of the TWM factory， is completely aware of such a demand.
"Iran has gained a lot from its Chinese partners. And the road ahead is clear: we hope more cooperation can be carried out as for the latest metro and railroad technologies that China masters，" said Shadmani.
JAKARTA， Nov. 25 (Xinhua) -- Senior Indonesian and Iranian officials gathered here on Friday in Joint Economic Commission (SKB) meeting， discussing ways to further explore bilateral economic ties after the signing of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) that revokes international economic sanctions against Iran.
Bilateral talks between the two delegations in the meeting were divided into committees comprising finance， trade， industry and investment， infrastructure and other sectors.
"The two nations are bound with similarities in culture and values. As now we have established cooperation in economy， education， research and technology and sports，" Indonesia's Coordinating Minister for the Economy Darmin Nasution said on the sidelines of the meeting held in his office here.
Darmin jointly presided over the meeting with Iran's Information Technology and Communications Minister Mahmoud Vaezi.
The meeting was the 12th held by Indonesia and Iran delegations and the first after the signing of the nuclear non-proliferation agreement， known as Iran nuclear deal， last year that annulled several economic sanctions against Iran.
Two-way trade between Indonesia and Iran was recorded at 273.1 million U.S. Dollars last year. In the first eight months this year， trade between the two countries stood at 150 million U.S. Dollars， lower than 195 million U.S. Dollars in the same period last year.
Iran's accumulated investment in Indonesia was recorded at 6.3 million U.S. Dollars from 2011 to 2014， divided in 16 different projects.
Indonesia is now seeking further expansion of cooperation in energy sector. Indonesian oil and gas firm of Pertamina has established cooperation with its Iranian counterpart， National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC)， in LPG supply.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo is scheduled to undertake official visit to Iran mid next month.
