Paul Foley met and talked with Head of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries and Agriculture Masoud Khansari on Saturday; “Australia is determined to dispatch a trade delegation to Iran regardless of the proclaimed limitations on the part of the US,” asserted the Australian ambassador.
He further pointed out the strength of Iran and Australia in the field of mineral activities highlighting the possibility to conduct close and effective cooperation in the area.
“In the past, several Australian companies were active in Iran though they had to reduce operation before ending their task due to strict sanctions,” he asserted.
Foley expressed Australian companies’ willingness to return to Iran despite the fact that the level of collaboration between the two countries has fluctuated widely over the recent year.
