KYIV. July 30 (Interfax-Ukraine) – Ukraine and Iran will on September 15 hold talks on economic cooperation at the level of an intergovernmental commission for the first time in ten years, Mykhailo Bno-Airiian, head of the Ukrainian ministry’s Department for European Integration, said at a press conference in Kyiv on Wednesday.
“On September 15, if everything is good, we will hold a meeting of the Ukrainian-Iranian intergovernmental commission in Teheran. The energy minister [of Ukraine Volodymyr Demchyshyn] and the agriculture minister of Iran [Mahmoud Hojjati] will co-chair the commission. I think that it would be the first meeting in ten years, so you can understand the importance of the event,” he said.
