By Fatih Karimov - Trend:

Switzerland's Foreign Minister Wolfgang Amadeus Brulhart sais his country seeks to boost trade ties with Iran if sanctions against the Islamic Republic are lifted.

Brulhart met with secretary general of Iran's chamber of commerce Hossein Noqrehkar Shirazi in Tehran, saying that a Swiss trade delegation will come to Iran in the near future, Iran's Mehr news agency reported on September 23.

However, reaching a final agreement in nuclear talks between Iran and the P5+1 group will be a prerequisite, Brulhart said.

Iran and the five permanent members of the UN Security Council -- the United States, France, Britain, Russia, China - plus Germany - sealed an interim deal in the Swiss city of Geneva on November 24, 2013 to pave the way for the full resolution of the decade-old dispute with Iran over the country's nuclear energy program. The deal came into force on January 20.
