Rouhani: Foreign Investment to Pour into Iran

By Staff, Agencies 

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani confirmed that “An imminent removal of the sanctions on Iran will result in the flow of foreign investment into the country.”

In comments after inaugurating a number of projects in free trade and special economic zones via videoconference, Rouhani said the country’s free trade zones should be at the forefront of attracting foreign investment.

“The sanctions will be soon lifted and foreign investment will flow into Iran,” he added.

In parallel, he also noted that the free trade zones of Iran have developed so much that they have been transformed from importers and consumers to exporters and producers.

“The free trade zones have turned into bridges linking Iran to the neighbors and other world countries,” Rouhani stated.

Hailing Iran’s success in overcoming the enemy’s economic war and cruel sanctions, the Iranian president said the US authorities have admitted to making a mistake and expressed readiness to remove the coronavirus vaccine sanctions on Iran.

“The US has voiced readiness to lift the sanctions on the delivery of masks and COVID vaccine to Iran only after it realized that Iranians have become self-sufficient in producing those items,” he confirmed.
