Speaking in a meeting with visiting President of the Tatarstan Republic of the Russian Federation Rustam Minnikhanov, Younes Jaele said that due to the recent sanctions against Russia, it is surprising that Russian banks comply with sanctions against Iranian businessmen.
He urged the Iranian and Russian banks to be active in the field of rial-ruble exchange.
He added that Iran is a valuable opportunity for Russia thanks to its access to the Middle East and North Africa.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he highlighted the role of the Tabriz Chamber of Commerce in forming a suitable joint working group to be active in Russian Federation exports.
These capacities can be used for exporting Russian goods to Iran’s neighboring states like Pakistan and Iraq, Jaele said.
He also stressed the importance of launching the Anzali- Makhachkala- Astrakhan shipping line.
