Croatian president to visit Iran

TEHRAN (ISNA)- Croatia is looking to expand its business cooperation with Iran After the lifting of sanction and President Grabar-Kitarović is going to visit Iran with large business delegation.

Despite the fact that, after the lifting of sanctions, Iran has been visited by a large number of foreign businesspeople and investors from economically strong and powerful countries, the visit by Croatian President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarović next week with a large business delegation led by the Croatian Chamber of Economy is expected to be successful and should result in a stronger economic cooperation between the two countries.

About 50 Croatian companies will send their representatives to join the Croatian president on the trip. Some of these companies are already present in this market, while others will establish their first contacts.

Iran is well-known that this market of 80 million people has a great potential. In previous years, politicians and businessmen from Iran said that Croatia was an extremely important country for them, not only because of its geopolitical position, but also because they considered Croatia as a friendly country which had never turned its back to Iran.

Iran was visited by members of former government, Foreign Minister Vesna Pusić and Tourism Minister Darko Lorencin, as well as former Parliament Speaker Josip Leko, which made it clear how important cooperation with Iran was for Croatia.

Since there are no more obstacles, Iran has become a major regional economic power, and the EU and the United States see it as a major political and economic partner.

For Iran, which has large gas reserves and could take over an important role of gas producer, Croatia is located at an extremely important geopolitical location and could become a distributor of Iranian gas to many European countries. Iranians are interested in investing in an LNG terminal, shipbuilding, petrochemical industry and tourism, while Croatian companies want to invest in infrastructure and energy, Total Croatia News reported.
