Spanish Economic Delegation Due in Tehran
The decision to dispatch the economic delegation to Iran was reached following last week's meeting between Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Euro-American Affairs Ali Ahani and senior officials from the Spanish Ministry of Commerce and Tourism.
An informed source said that the aim of the Spanish economic delegation's visit to Tehran is to examine ways of bolstering ties between the two countries.
A joint economic seminar, which will look into the prospects of investment, will be attended by the Spanish economic delegation and a team from Iran-Spain chambers of commerce, as well as Spanish and Iranian businesspeople.
The overall export of Spanish goods to Iran in 2000 amounted to $326 million, while Spain's import from Iran in the same period exceeded $900 million. Crude oil accounts for 82 percent of Spain's import from Iran.
Spain is considered Iran's third European trade partner and last year's total trade exchange between the two countries increased by $450 million compared to the previous year.
