Message from Iran’s Ambassador to Germany
As the result of the historic agreement on Iran’s peaceful nuclear program, known as the JCPOA, and lifting
the imposed sanctions against Iran, I have the honor to announce that a high-ranking delegation, consisting
of senior officials and representatives from the public and private sectors of Iran, will be participating
in the Iranian-European Forum, which is going to be held in Frankfurt on November 18-19, 2015, by the
Maleki Group in collaboration with the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in Germany.
This Forum by presenting an overall picture of Iran’s economy, aims to introduce and explain new banking
and investment opportunities in post-sanction era, and to further provide European and German companies,
banks, investors and financial and economic institutions with the unique opportunity to discuss the new
atmosphere of doing business and trade with Iran, and more specifically, to get first-hand information of
the new Iranian projects planned for the next eight years in both public and private sectors.
Furthermore, quite number of major Iranian projects in the fields of industry, mines, petrochemicals, energy,
water, transportation, urban development, etc. will be introduced by deputy ministers and senior officials
from different Iranian ministries, and the financial and monetary conditions of the Country will be explained
by a senior delegation from Iran’s Central Bank.
Wednesday, 18 November
This Forum will further provide opportunities for individual meetings between German and European
companies and financial institutions and their Iranian counterparts.
