In a meeting with British Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond in London on Friday, Mohammad Nahavandian added that relations between Iran and the UK may not necessarily have to be expanded through political ties and economic cooperation may as well play a more efficient role in improving the two countries’ relations.
He deemed positive the results of Iran’s nuclear deal in expanding Tehran-London relations, saying “Iran expects countries, particularly those who had a part in the nuclear accord, to prepare the ground for banking activities and trade exchanges between financial and banking institutions after the implementation of the JCPOA and the lift of sanctions.”
“Iran’s constructive interaction, as the main strategy in the country’s foreign policy, has opened a new chapter in its cooperation with other states and the nuclear deal can be considered as the greatest achievement of this policy,” he said.
