\nAn export credit line worth one million dollars has been allocated to Norwegian companies 400 million dollars of which have been used to export advanced technologies to Iran<\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
\u201cNorway encourages its companies, banks and monetary institutions to launch cooperation with Iran,\u201d said Brende adding \u201cDNB ASA, Norway’s largest financial services group, has plans to participate in the Iranian market and welcomes partnership in marine, fisheries, oil and gas sectors.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Norwegian official said Iran could make an excellent trade partner given its high stability and political security as well as the upward trend of its economic growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn export credit line worth one million dollars has been allocated to Norwegian companies 400 million dollars of which have been used to export advanced technologies to Iran,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n
Also at the meeting, Iran\u2019s Tayebnia said \u201cdespite existence of great potentials for further cooperation, the current economic ties between the two sides are far from satisfactory.\u201d<\/p>\n
The official referred to Iran\u2019s achievements in economic areas asserting \u201cgreat progress has been made in oil sales and reaching agreements with other states though certain difficulties still persist over reinvigoration of ties with Europe which will hopefully be resolved in near future.\u201d<\/p>\n
He further enumerated possible venues for collaboration between Tehran and Oslo including oil, gas, fisheries as well as financial arenas.<\/p>\n
\u201cNorwegian firms previously had an effective presence in development of energy fields in Iran though their activities were almost suspended during cruel sanction years,\u201d said Tayebnia.<\/p>\n
He further called for signing of fundamental deals between the two countries like the agreement of avoidance of double taxation as well as customs and investment contracts.<\/p>\n
\u201cInitiating banking ties between Iranian and Norwegian banks would also facilitate escalation of bilateral economic ties,\u201d concluded Iran\u2019s economy minister.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
