Thomson Reuters aims to seek business opportunities in Iran once international sanctions against the Islamic Republic are lifted.
On Thursday, a spokeswoman for the global news and information provider confirmed that the company had a meeting with representatives from the Tehran Stock Exchange in this regard earlier this week, Reuters reported.

The Thomson Reuters spokeswoman, however, said that the company is aware of sanctions against Tehran and complies with all sanction rules and regulations.
"Consistent with these rules, the meeting was used to express mutual interest in exploring potential business opportunities should sanctions permit and the opportunity be aligned with our business objectives," the spokeswoman added.
She went on to say that the two sides had discussed no agreement during the meeting.

Iran and the six world powers -- the United States, France, Britain, China, Russia and Germany -- sealed an interim deal in Geneva on November 24 last year to pave the way for the full resolution of the dispute over the Islamic Republics nuclear energy program. The deal took effect on January 20.

Under the Geneva deal, dubbed the Geneva Joint Plan of Action, the six powers have undertaken to provide Iran with some sanctions relief in exchange for the Islamic Republic agreeing to limit certain aspects of its nuclear activities during six months.
