She hailed the unsparing efforts of the organization in solving problems facing international companies in Iran including “Nestle” and called for further enhancement of trade ties with Iranian companies.
The envoy raised the problems of Swiss companies in Iran, including Nestlé, and asked for the assistance of the TPOI head in solving these problems.
“I am glad that the TPOI is doing its best to promote trade and reduce the problems of international companies.”
The TPOI plays a leading role in settling problems created for international companies based in Iran, Lozano reiterated.
The TPOI chief, for his part, pointed to the effective steps taken by his organization in solving trade problems facing international companies in Iran and said that problems regarding the allocation of exchange rates for this Swiss company in the provision of infant formula will be settled in the coming days.
