Tehran, Iran, Nov. 19
Trend:
Iran's Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Ghasemi says halting commercial activities of 20 Iranian companies in Tajikistan was not politically motivated.
"I do not confirm this number, but I think due to lack of commitment to local frameworks and regulations, including tax payment, the [Iranian] companies have faced a few problems and their work has been suspended temporarily," Trend reporter quoted Ghasemi as saying during a press conference Nov. 19.
"We are following the issue and hope it would be solved," added Ghasemi.
