Tehran, YJC. Iranian President Hassan Rouhani on Wednesday invited Irish companies and investors to seize the opportunity and invest in Iran.
Rouhani’s invitation came in his meeting with Irish
Parliament Speaker Sean Barrett in Tehran.
He pointed to grounds for expansion of mutual economic
cooperation and called on the two sides' officials to pave the way for active
presence of private and state-run investors and entrepreneurs in both
countries.
At the present time, big economic European delegations are
visiting Iran for business negotiations and clinching deals on Iranian
projects, Rouhani said, adding that the grounds are prepared for presence of
Irish companies in the country.
The current visit of the Irish parliament speaker is
regarded as a turning point in broadening relations and cooperation between the
two countries, Rouhani said adding that IT, oil and gas, rail transportation,
environment, ferrous industries, mines, pharmaceuticals and agriculture are
suitable areas of cooperation between the two states.
IAEA in its recent report once again reiterated Iran's
non-deviation from its nuclear program which indicates the country is following
a win-win policy in its talks with G5+1, he said.
Ireland is not among 5+1 countries but as a member of
European Union can play a serious role in resolving the country's nuclear
standoff, he said.
Good relations between the two sides' parliaments will improve
relations between the two countries, the Iranian president asserted, calling
for expansion of regional and global cooperation between the two sides.
Also, the Irish legislative official for his part described
Iran's policy in dealing with global developments as positive and said the
world has now recognized the Iranian president as "Man of Peace".
Ireland fully backs talks between Iran and G5+1 until a
final deal is clinched by the two sides, he said.
Grounds for expansion of all-out cooperation between the two
countries are well prepared and the two sides are expected to seize the
opportunity in this regard, he said.
