Valiollah Afkhami Rad announced the formation of a legal-economic team to revise the Trade Regime of Iran and said that, “considering the positive international atmosphere as well as Iran’s determination to join WTO, we will be able to join this organization within four years; however, we need to make certain adjustments to our business and economy in a way that is approved by WTO members.”
