Russia and Iran consider bank to finance joint projects
"One of the most important issues that have a negative impact on the development of our trade relations [with Iran] is the financial issue. Today, we paid attention to this, and also discussed a number of proposals to ensure that our joint projects will be financed properly," said Novak, adding the bank was among the proposals.
"Iran is an important and large trading partner, we are now at a new stage, a new level of development of our relations,” he added.
Novak’s two-day visit to Tehran will include talks with Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zanganeh, Energy Minister Hamid Chitchian and a number of other ministers and heads of departments. The final goal is to boost trade from $2 billion to $10 billion.
