Positive signals have been received from Russia, showing that that country is keen on setting up a joint investment fund with Iran, Eyvazlou added.
In this regard, the NDFI has prioritized launching joint investment with the neighboring states in the oil, gas, petrochemical and pharmaceutical fields, he said, tahlilbazaar reported.

Among the 10 members of the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO), the NDFI has agreed to launch joint funds with seven, he maintained.
There are ways other than SWIFT in the international payments, he said, stressing that the Central Bank of Iran has defined special methods for establishing relations with the brokerage companies of other countries and this mechanism has started among Iran’s neighboring states.
