Tehran, Feb 3, IRNA - Minister of Industry, Mine and Trade Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh said on Tuesday that the level of Iran and France trade should exceed five billion euro a year.

Thanks to Iran’s huge oil, gas and mineral resources, the emerging markets and geopolitics situation and output of France?s high-tech companies, the two counties can become a major trade partner.

He expressed hope that a new chapter would open for expansion of Iran-France economic cooperation.

He invited the 140-member French delegation to visit the Iranian industrial units to get acquainted with the Iranian industrial capabilities.

A 140-member delegation from France arrived in Tehran on Monday morning to hold talks with Iranian economic officials.

According to the Geneva deal, some anti-Iran sanctions have been lifted.
