On Wednesday, Mr. Zarif and Ms. Margot Wallström discussed possibilities of improved cultural and economic relations, where she congratulated Zarif on hitting a nuclear deal with the western powers and highlighted few centuries of historical relations.
Zarif for his part believed that Iranian expatriates in Sweden would provide a cultural bridge between two nations; “joint commercial forum and Iran’s economic delegation to Sweden indicate necessity of improvements should be brought to bilateral trade post-JCPOA,” he added.
Both foreign ministers discussed developments in the Middle East and North Africa. An MoU and a joint statement will also be signed by both FMs. Zarif will be in an official lunch feast given by Ms. Wallström before a joint press conference later on Wednesday.
