Iran Targets Foreign Investment to Boost Economy, Rouhani Says

Iran will encourage foreign partners and investment as sanctions are lifted and the country seeks to boost its economy after July’s nuclear agreement with the world powers, President Hassan Rouhani said.

“Foreigners must bring investment and technology and partner with Iranians so that both sides can benefit by winning a share of the Iranian and regional markets,” Rouhani told reporters in Tehran on Saturday. “The ultimate aim is to create employment for our youth.”
