The center was inaugurated in a ceremony attended by international deputies of Iranian vice president for science and officials in charge of the Chinese Science Park as well as Iranian consulate general, secretary of Iranian nano technology bureau and representatives of Iranian nano-tech companies.
Iran and China signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand scientific cooperation.
Finland, Holland and Czech have already established three joint centers with China in the park.
Early May, Iranian Vice-President for Science and Technology Affairs Sorena Sattari and President of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Bai Chunli in a meeting explored avenues for promotion of cooperation between the two countries in the area of science and technology.
In a meeting in Tehran, Sattari described the relations between Iran and China as "strategic" and said that besides bilateral trade ties, Tehran attaches great importance to the scientific relations with Beijing.
Noting that there are more than 30 science and technology parks in Iran, he said the Islamic Republic is ready to host Chinese scientific companies as part of efforts to boost mutual cooperation in this field.
Satori further stressed the need to form a working group to facilitate scientific cooperation between the two countries.
Bai, for his part, said Iran has made great progress in the area of science and technology compared to the time of his previous visit to Iran 15 year ago.
"We are very keen to expand scientific and technological interactions with Iran," he stated.
Relations between Iran and China in various fields have been growing over the past years.
