Iran Press/ Europe: The Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Islamic Republic of Iran left Tehran on Friday for Munich to attend the 58th Munich Security Conference.
The Munich Security Conference is held for three days from Friday, with officials and security experts worldwide attending.
Iran's FM Hossein Amir-Abdollahian and his Norwegian counterpart Anniken Huitfeldt talked about various issues, including the Iranian nuclear deal or JCPOA.
Iran's international nuclear agreement or the so-called Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) was signed between the country and P5+1 countries (Russia, China, UK, Germany, France, and the US) in 2015. Still, the US scrapped it on May 18, 2018, re-imposing more sanctions on Iran.
Amir-Abdollahian said the two countries could expand cooperation in different areas, especially the oil and gas industry, agriculture, renewable energy, and fisheries.
Anniken Huitfeldt, for her part, expressed hope that Vienna talks would lead to a new era of economic relations between Iran and Norway.
The eighth round of sanctions talks begun in Vienna on December 27 is ongoing in Vienna, after a short break, this time without the US and but between Iran and the P4+1 group.
Huitfeldt also referred to the crisis-hit people of Afghanistan and appreciated Iran for aiding and hosting the Afghan people.
The Iranian foreign minister has had meetings with the UN Secretary-General, the EU Foreign Policy Chief, and his Qatari, Dutch, Belgian, Indian, Croatian, Swedish, Italian, German, Armenian, Bosnian, and Iraqi counterparts.
