UK, Norway vow to expand trade ties with Iran despite US bans
Tehran (KNA) - British and Norwegian top diplomats have assured their Iranian counterpart Mohammad Javad Zarif that London and Oslo will try to maintain and even expand their business cooperation with Tehran despite the re-imposition of US sanctions on the country.
UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt, in a Monday phone conversation with Zarif, underlined the commitment of London and other parties to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) to continued implementation of the 2015 deal.
He also underlined the need for immediate establishment and implementation of Europe's special payment mechanism known as Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) in a bid to maintain economic cooperation with Iran.
Earlier on Friday, top European diplomats vowed to preserve and maintain "effective financial channels with Iran, and the continuation of Iran's export of oil and gas."
