Arak, Nov 25, IRNA � Swiss Ambassador to Iran Julia Hoss said that promoting political relations and settlement of Iran's disputes with G5+1 are prerequisite for promotion of EU's economic cooperation with Iran.
��On his one-day visit to Arak, he said in a meeting with the province's economic activists that the problem blocking development of economic ties with Iran is linked to lack of strong base in banking and financial transactions and all the Swiss merchants are waiting for the results of nuclear talks between Iran and G5+1.
The Swiss envoy also announced that a commercial delegation will arrive in Tehran next week to get familiar and evaluate conditions for economic relations with Tehran.

'Iran boasts of a huge potential for developing tourism industry and Swiss tourists are keen to visit Iran's historic and cultural attractions,' he said.

Complaining about decline in trade exchanges between the two countries from three billion dollars three years ago to 500 million dollars this year, he hoped that trade balance would witness remarkable growth once the nuclear talks bear fruit.

Hoss also described Iran as a major, beautiful and influential country in the world.

Markazi province governor general, Mohammad Hossein Moqimi, told the meeting that changes in EU countries' attitude towards Iran will help promote economic conditions.

Iran has always complied with international regulations in all its affairs, particularly nuclear issue, he said.
