"Iran is one of the signatories to the anti-corruption campaign and it is also cooperating with the UN in this regard," Al-Marri said, addressing a group of Iranian university professors and students of Judicial Sciences University in Tehran on Monday, adding that he has been appointed by the UN as a special attorney for campaign against corruption, and is, thus, "speaking as representative of the UN".
Al-Marri said that the Iranian nation is a great nation and it has a history that is respected by all, and wished development for Iran. "I am sure that you can make a powerful Iran."
Earlier today, Al-Marri in a meeting with Iranian Justice Minister Mostafa Pourmohammadi concluded several judicial agreements.
"We had good judicial agreements with Qatar and also agreed on extradition of some Iranian prisoners," Pourmohammadi told reporters after his meeting with Al-Marri in Tehran.
The Iranian justice minister pointed to Iran-Qatar judicial agreements, and said, "Fortunately we agreed on extraditing some prisoners with heavy convictions to Iran."
Asked about the number of Iranian prisoners in Qatar, Pourmohammadi said, "We agreed that 10 prisoners be extradited to Iran and 20 others be freed."
Both Iran and Qatar have recently augmented efforts to further expand ties and cooperation in all the different political, economic, defense, security, judicial and cultural fields.
The two Persian Gulf littoral states recently signed several protocols to increase mutual cooperation.
Al-Amri, whose trip to Iran is taking place upon the formal invitation of Amoli Larijani, will also have meetings with other senior Iranian officials to pave the way for further development of bilateral ties between the two Persian Gulf states.
