Iran, U.S. in talks over opening chamber of commerce: official

Xinhua, August 4, 2015 Adjust font size:

Iran and the United States are in negotiations on launching a joint chamber of commerce, Press TV reported on Tuesday quoting an Iranian trade official.

The United States has already taken measures for the establishment of the U.S.-Iran Joint Chamber of Commerce, and a reciprocal move will start in Tehran once the chamber is officially launched in Washington, Mohsen Jalalpour, president of Iran Chamber of Commerce, was quoted as saying.

Jalalpour said the Iran-U.S. Chamber of Commerce will likely be established in Iran within two months, and the preliminaries for this could be prepared during President Hassan Rouhani's anticipated visit to New York for a UN General Assembly meeting in September.

After Iran and world powers reached a comprehensive deal over the former's nuclear program in Vienna on July 14, Tehran has received several senior western officials for economic cooperation, including German Vice Chancellor Sigmar Gabriel, French Foreign Affairs Minister Laurent Fabius and EU Foreign Affairs Chief Federica Mogherini.
