Iran invites head of NDB to discuss membership: Official

Tehran, IRNA – An Iranian official has announced that the head of the New Development Bank (NDB) has been invited to visit Iran to discuss the country’s potential membership in the bank.

Deputy for Diplomacy Affairs of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mehdi Safari said on Friday that he had a meeting with Head of the NDB Dilma Vana Rousseff and invited her to visit Iran soon so that the country can have a share as a new member state in the bank and utilize its potential to finance projects, adding that this will be a positive and helpful step.

Mehdi Safari, Deputy for Diplomacy Affairs of Iran’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said on Friday that he had met with Dilma Vana Rousseff, the head of the NDB, and extended an invitation for her to visit Iran. Safari added that Iran’s membership in the bank would be a positive and helpful step for the country.

The NDB chairman welcomed Iran’s interest in joining the bank, according to Safari.

Safari also noted that Iran has strong ties with the five member states of the BRICS group, namely Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, and could expand trade and economic cooperation with them within the framework of the bloc.

He argued that Iran’s accession to BRICS would enhance multilateralism and bolster the political, economic, and trade power of the Islamic Republic.

The BRICS bloc of developing nations agreed on Thursday to admit six new members: Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt, Argentina, and the United Arab Emirates.
