Tehran, Sept 18, IRNA � Presidential Chief of Staff, Mohammad Nahavandian, said that foreign companies should bring capital and technology to Iran in post-sanction era.

Referring to the arrival of foreign companies in Iran and their interest in investing in the country's economy, he added that post-sanctions opportunity should be seized properly to bolster national production and further activation of economic wheels.
