MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The lifting of sanctions against Iran will boost trade between Russia and the Islamic Republic, the Russian Ministry of Economic Development said Tuesday.
"The lifting of sanctions will, of course, increase the volume of bilateral trade. Companies will be more willing to decide on entering the Iranian market, the possibilities for Iranian state and private companies to pay for Russian goods in convertible currencies, including rubles, will increase," a ministry spokesperson told RIA Novosti.
