November 22, The Iran Project – Iran’s ambassador to Indonesia asks for the development of banking relations with Indonesia to facilitate economic cooperation, stressing that Islamic Republic, comparing to other Middle East countries, is safer for trade and investment.

Since the removal of international sanctions against Iran, numerous foreign political and economic delegations have travelled to Iran so there is no obstacle for other countries to trade with the Islamic Republic, Mohammadi Nasrabadi noted.
