“Iran and Sweden enjoy high-profile industrial relations and we hope to improve ties further; the Swedish delegation to Tehran seeks the same objectives as well,” said the minister. “Both public and private sectors of both countries feel there is a strong will to extend relations especially in communication technology. We saw Swedish commitment even when sanctions were on place and we hope to have good level of cooperation in ICT,” Vaezi emphasized, adding that Iran sought actively to use Swedish valuable experiences and capabilities in launching its own electronic government.
