Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif addressed the Polish-Iranian Economic Forum held in Warsaw on Monday, saying “what we expect our economic activists in the private sector to do is to take measures in advancing the two countries’ relations.”
“Iran, with all its geographical advantages, is the most secure country in an unsecure region,” Zarif said. “Fewer countries in the region can hold elections in a peaceful atmosphere by relying on their people. This security presents an investment opportunity for foreign investors.”
Zarif went on to add, “the basis for political and economic power in Iran is the people who will welcome major countries with open arms to have active participation in many economic projects.”
“As a representative of Iranian government, I assure you that banking and economic relations will be soon facilitated for your investment,” Zarif stressed.
Meanwhile, Mohsen Jalalpour, President of Iran’s Chamber of Commerce, who was also attending the forum, said without banking relations, taking full advantage of Iran’s expansive market will not be possible; “Prime Minister of Poland should take serious measures in this regard,” he added.
He went on to add that Iranian and Polish firms can participate in joint projects in wood industry, mining, metals, food, motor vehicles and marine industry.
At the end of the forum, 3 MoUs were signed between Iranian and Polish chambers of commerce on investment and energy to boost economic cooperation.
