Iran keen on economic interaction with Latvia

Xinhua, April 4, 2017 Adjust font size:

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has urged the Iranian and Latvia private sectors to enhance trade and economic interaction between the two countries, local media reported on Tuesday.

Iran and Latvia can promote cooperation in agriculture and the transportation industry, Zarif said in a meeting with the visiting Latvian Foreign Ministry's State Secretary Andrejs Pildegovics on Monday.

For his part, Pildegovics said that the businessmen of his country are eager to work in close cooperation with their Iranian partners in the transportation industry, given Iran's strategic geographical position in the region.

In June 2016, Zarif headed a delegation of Iranian business people to Latvia where he discussed closer ties in the political, parliamentary, trade and tourism fields with senior officials of the country. Endit
