TEHRAN (Tasnim) � An Iranian deputy foreign minister discussed enhancement of Tehran-Oslo relations in diverse fields with ranking Norwegian officials, in light of coming into force of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a lasting nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.





Iran�s Deputy Foreign Minister for American and European Affairs Majid Takht Ravanchi met senior Norwegian officials in Oslo on Wednesday to explore avenues for the enhancement of bilateral ties.

In a meeting with Anniken Huitfeldt, chair of the Norwegian parliament�s committee on foreign affairs and defense, Takht Ravanchi said a �new age� has begun in the economic relations between the two countries.

He also voiced Iran�s policy of constructive interaction with other countries for political settlement of conflicts and establishment of peace and stability.

For her part, Huitfeldt expressed the Scandinavian nation�s support for the expansion of parliamentary ties with Iran.

In a separate meeting, Takht Ravanchi and Norway�s Minister of Trade and Industry Monica Maeland discussed ways for making the most of the investment opportunities in Iran�s market.

Voicing Norway�s eagerness to invest in new markets, like that of Iran, Maeland hoped that the new conditions would bring about a rise in Tehran-Oslo economic ties, particularly in the oil and gas industry, fishery, and renewable energies.

Heading a trade delegation, Takht Ravanchi has travelled to Oslo to attend the 6th round of Iran-Norway political negotiations.

The visit comes against the backdrop of a new wave of interest in ties with Iran after implementation of the JCPOA, the nuclear deal between Tehran and the Group 5+1 (Russia, China, the US, Britain, France and Germany).
