“Unfortunately, our approach towards the European and US companies is a traditional one that should change. This change of view will surely benefit the country in the future,” he underlined.

Indian officials are really interested in promoting all-inclusive ties with Iran, he said, as reported by the government’s official website Dolat.ir.

“To counter the sanctions imposed on Iran and the nation, it is a great opportunity to make use of cost-effective and economical talents. We must use this chance to improve our domestic products. Iran and all the region, of course, are a very good market for India.”

He further maintained that during this visit he held a lot of meetings and discussions with the Indian authorities, the ministers of commerce, health and traditional medicine, as well as the banks and pharmaceutical companies of India.

“India, like the Eastern Bloc countries, has a great chance to develop all-out ties with Iran. These countries can contribute to the development of the Islamic Republic, the advancement of technology and the independence of Iran in various fields,” added the Iranian minister.
