The South Korean stock market has expressed readiness to offer Iranian bonds, said Director of Iran Securities and Exchange Organization (SCO) Mohammad Fetanat.

He said South Korea has given precedence to Iran’s governmental Sukuk , IRNA news agency quoted Fetanat as saying June 26.

Sukuk are bonds structured to comply with Islamic law by not paying interest.
