An economic delegation including 20 top German officials headed by the country's Agriculture Minister Christian Schmidt is to arrive in Tehran on Sunday.
During this two-day visit, the German minister is to meet his Iranian counterpart Mahmoud Hojjati to confer bilateral agricultural cooperation and in particular future joint agro-venture.
Germany has expressed eagerness to revive its joint bilateral relation in various economic areas with Iran as of the Asian country signed its nuclear deal, known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), with P5+1 in June, 2015.
The agreement, which led in removal of unfair anti-Iranian financial sanctions during the past months, has triggered many European countries, including Germany as one of the most prominent European economic powers, to compete for finding even a small share in the booming Iranian market.
During the past months, Iranian and German officials as well as businessmen have visited each other’s countries to investigate warmer future relations in different fields.
For example, former German chancellor Gerhard Schroeder was in Iran for a four-day visit in January.
Schroeder led a 27-strong high-level delegation as part of the honorary chairman of the Berlin-based Near and Middle East Association titled Nah-Und MittelOst-Verein (NUMOV) which promotes German business activities in the Mideast.
2016 conference of the NUMOV, with a specific focus on Iran, started operation in Berlin on Tuesday.
The conference provides an excellent opportunity for German businessmen and private sector to meet the visiting Iranian officials and their counterparts in a bid to exchange first-hand information about mutual cooperation in the future.
