Swiss Diplomat: Sanctions Pushing Iran towards China, India
TEHRAN (FNA)- A senior Swiss diplomat said western sanctions against Iran are creating more and more opportunity for China and India to increase their business with Iranian partners.
The deputy chief of mission of Switzerland's embassy in Washington, Guillaume Scheurer, told a University of Virginia audience that the sanctions being levied against Iran are creating an opening in Tehran for businesses from China and India.
Speaking in the Dome Room of the Rotunda, Scheurer said "the market in Iran is huge."
"India and China, in particular, are in many ways replacing traditional trading partners," including Germany, France, Switzerland and Italy, he said.
