Industry Minister Federica Guidi
said Tuesday Italy is aiming to enter into joint ventures in
Iran.
"We will...propose our technology but also our mindset for
a long-term collaboration, creating joint ventures with on-site
production facilities," the minister said.
Italy and Iran once had trade volume of seven billion
euros, Guidi told reporters at a joint press conference with her
Iranian counterpart, Razeh Nematzadeh.
"We must renew the industrial and economic collaboration
that has always bound Italy and Iran in friendship," Guidi said.
Mutually beneficial sectors could include energy, oil and
gas, aeronautics, shipping, construction, jewelry, leather and
food, she said.
Industrial plant engineering and construction company FATA
SpA, which belongs to Finmeccanica aerospace and defence giant,
has signed a 500-million-euro contract to build a combined cycle
electrical power plant in Iran, the minister said.
