SEJONG, Aug. 06 (MNA) – The South Korean government sent a group of delegates to Iran to support local environmental enterprises in making inroads into the largely untapped market.

The Korean Ministry of Environment said it has sent six public and private sector officials to meet with their Iranian counterparts, including the country's Vice President Masoumeh Ebtekar who also heads Iran's Department of Environment.

During their visit to Tehran, the delegation will discuss specific details in regards to a memorandum of understanding for environmental cooperation signed in May.

The visit follows just a few weeks after a group of environment-related Iranian government officials and experts visited South Korea for a week to receive environment business-related training as part of an effort to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
