Head of Czech Industries Confederation Yaroslav Hanak said on Monday that the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) paved the way for promotion of Tehran-Prague cooperation.
Hanak made the remarks during Iran-Czech Trade Conference session in Prague on Monday, attended by 130 business people.
The official noted that mutual cooperation has the potential for development in various spheres such as energy and transportation.
Head of Tehran Chamber of Commerce, Industries, Mines and Agriculture, Masoud Khansari told the audience for his part that bilateral ties date back to 90 years ago and the two countries have traditional cultural as well as political and economic relations.
Transportation, management of water resources, new energies, and food industries are among the areas of cooperation for both countries, he said, calling for joint investment which will help boost economic relations.
The JCPOA has prepared suitable conditions for foreign investment in Iran, he said.
