Zafar Warriach, along with three other ECO member states and five deputy ministers as well as Uzbekistan's ambassador to Tehran attended meeting, which ended on Thursday.
Promotion of economic co-operation among ECO members, money laundering, organised crime and illegal immigration are major issues discussed. ECO comprises Iran, Pakistan, Turkey, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Azerbaijan, Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan.
