Accordingly, Sajid Javid, the second Muslim member of the British Cabinet, is scheduled to lead Britain’s biggest-ever trade mission to Iran in May to take advantage of the recent lifting of sanctions against Tehran.
There will be executives on the trip from across the oil and gas, financial services, infrastructure and engineering sectors, reported Financial Times.
