If the Iranian banks are able to make transactions and payments through the SWIFT Code, it will present favourable conditions for Vietnam and Iran to boost trade, Hai said.
The removal of sanctions against Iran also means that there are no longer sanctions against foreign insurance companies and banned import-export goods to Iran, he said, adding that Vietnam and Iran could supplement each other in goods trade.
He warned that as businesses from other countries are also eyeing the Iranian market, Vietnamese players should be proactive in studying the market carefully and tapping opportunities.
