TEHRAN- Croatia has new plans on agenda for development of its economic ties with Iran, Croatian Deputy Prime Minister Martina Dalic announced in a meeting with Mohammad Baqer Nobakht, the head of Management and Planning Organization of Iran, in Tehran on Sunday, IRIB news reported.

Referring to the recent visits paid by Iranian senior officials to Croatia, Dalic, who is also the Minister of Economy, Small and Medium Entrepreneurship and Crafts of Croatia, hoped that the existing impediments, including banking and financial ones, on the way to boost mutual economic ties with Iran would be removed in near future.
