Iran and Norway to broaden links in their fish farming sectors

THE head of the Iran Fisheries Organisation and Norway’s ambassador to Tehran underlined the expansion of fisheries cooperation between the two countries last month, according to Mehr News Agency.

During a meeting with Norwegian officials, Hasan Salehi expressed Iran’s readiness to create opportunities for further promotion of fish breeding and raising, suggesting that the Iran Fisheries Organisation and Norway should broaden their decade-long cooperation on cage fish farming.

The Iranian Fisheries Organisation also voiced its readiness to participate in Norway’s fisheries exhibitions and invited the Norwegian ambassador, Aud Lise Norheim, to visit the northern parts of the country which engage in cage fish farming.
