Gholam Hossein Shafei, in a meeting with the head of Confederation of Danish Industry, stated that following 2013 election a new chapter was opened in economy. “We have overcome inflation and moved towards development of trade and foreign investment. Our private sector has also flourished and plays a prominent role in the economic field.”
He added that the government considered global trade as an axiom and has commenced new constructive ties with countries around the world, especially the Europe.
Shafei stated that foreign countries showed much interest in Iran’s market and the country has been witnessing an escalation in number of business delegations visiting Iran.
He asserted that considering the market of neighbor countries, countries of Commonwealth, the Middle East and Caucasus, Iran had a huge customer market with 300 millions of population, which is considerable for bilateral, trilateral and multilateral cooperation.
Shafei also pointed to the position of Denmark in Iran’s market and said: “Denmark has been present in Iran’s diary industries for over 50 years and more than 80 places in Iran have been cooperating with Denmark in this regard. There has also been cooperation in pharmacy, cement, urea and ammoniac industries as well.”
Head of Confederation of Danish Industry Karsten Dybvad, for his part, said that the confederation “is a private organization with about 10 thousand members of industrial, transportation and serving sectors active in the international arena.”
In regards to the sanctions and Iran nuclear talks with the 5+1, Dybvad expressed hope that the talks would bear positive outcomes by next summer deadline.
