Iranian envoy hails longstanding ties for more enhanced trade ties with Kenya

Tehran, IRNA – Iranian Minister to Nairobi Jafar Barmaki said on Saturday that the millennia-old relations between Iran and East Africa will pave the way for further increased trade ties between Iran and Kenya. He made the remarks in a workshop on the potential for economic cooperation with Africa. Noting that the time is ripe for the presence of Iranian knowledge-based companies in Africa, the ambassador said that different Iranian trade delegations visited Kenya last year. He also said that Kenya is a proper place for overseas farming projects considering the high precipitation in the country. Follow us on Twitter @IrnaEnglish
