Nematzadeh further called for the expansion of bilateral ties between Tehran and Tokyo particularly in engineering and technical spheres.

" We can provide Japanese companies with data as Iran has decided on its trade and economic priorities for the next 10 years," he added.
Iran and the P5+1 (the US, the UK, France, Russia, China and Germany) reached a deal on July 14, curbing Tehran 's nuclear program in return for lifting economic sanctions.
Following the deal various delegations from the EU as well as Tehran 's former Asian trade partners have paid several visits to resume their economic activities in the Islamic Republic.
