FDI needed to achieve 8% economic growth: VP
In order to achieve an eight-percent economic growth, Iran needs an investment of $200 billion, a part of which depends on the role of Iranian embassies in other countries and attracting foreign direct investment (FDI).
Announcing the above, First Vice President Mohammad Mokhber said active diplomacy and development of economic relations with the countries of the world are the strengths of the current government of Iran, IRNA reported.
During a meeting with Iranian ambassadors on Saturday, Mokhber termed the embassies and ambassadors of the country as the main and important tools for the country’s fundamental economic leap.
Iran’s ambassadors should be fully aware of the country’s domestic talents and capacities in various fields to create economic opportunities for the private sector and foreign parties, he added.
Mokhber pointed out that the country’s embassies had greater political roles in the past, but today they are important tools for the country’s economic leap.
Iranian embassies are expected to follow up on signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) and agreements on the president’s foreign trips, as well as other country’s official visits to Iran for removing obstacles in implementing the MoUs and agreements.
