TEHRAN (FNA)- Swiss Deputy Foreign Minister Yves Rossier voiced his country's willingness to cooperate with Iran in different areas, specially political and economic affairs.

"We have talked with Iranian officials not only on economic affairs, but political and regional security," Rossier said on Tuesday.

He pointed to Iran-Switzerland cooperation in the economic field, and said, "Switzerland will support Iran in the technical field in order to help the country to return to international financial markets."

In relevant remarks in late February, Swiss President Johann Schneider-Ammann said his country supports Iran's membership at key international economic and trade organizations.

"Iran should join the multilateral economic organizations to develop and grow. We support Iran's membership bid," Schneider-Ammann said in a meeting at Tehran's Chamber of Commerce.

Noting that he is accompanied with representatives of 40 Swiss companies, Schneider-Ammann asked his Iranian counterpart Hassan Rouhani to bring 400 Iranian traders to Bern in his future visit, given the fact that Iran has a bigger population than Switzerland.

He referred to the current trade ties, and said, "The removal of sanctions will pave the way for Iran's economic development. Some 140 trade delegations from different countries have visited Iran before and after the nuclear deal to find market and trade opportunities."

Schneider-Ammann said the two sides could now cooperate in various fields, such as industry, tourism, medicine, and water resources.

"In addition to the trade delegation, a scientific and research group is accompanying me to cement ties with their Iranian partners," he noted.
