Senior officials and corporate businessmen representing Iranian and French oil industry met on Tuesday to discuss investment opportunities in Irans post-sanction setting.
The French representatives constituted part of the 160-member delegation including Total and Technip who are headed by the agriculture minister and state minister for foreign commerce.

Before the sanctions, the company had a lot of talks and preparations for projects with Iranian companies including National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC).
"We see Iran as a great country with great natural reserves and great technical potentialities for development," he added. "It is also a key country for natural gas supply and we look forward to the possibility of buying some gas from Iran when conditions are met".
He said the company needs to understand how better the situation will evolve. "We are really hopeful that the sanctions are to be lifted, but we can start talking in order to be ready to work once the sanction are lifted."
