The United States has reportedly agreed in principle to partial release of some $7 billion in Iranian assets that South Korean banks have frozen in line with Washington’s inhumane economic sanctions targeting the Islamic Republic.
The Chairman of Iran-Switzerland Joint Chamber of Commerce, Sharif Nezam-Mafi said “The activation of Switzerland’s financial channel depends on the actions of the Central Bank of Iran.”
Iran-Switzerland Joint Chamber of Commerce President, Sharif Nezam-Mafi announced that companies interested in the Swiss Humanitarian Trade Arrangement (SHTA) must not necessarily be owned by the Swiss Federation.
Swiss ambassador to Tehran Markus Leitner said that we had extensive contacts with Iranian, American authorities and also Swiss banks to launch and secure the Swiss Humanitarian Trade Arrangement (SHTA).
A senior trade official in Switzerland has said that the country’s newly-launched Switzerland meant to bring humanitarian items to Iran would guarantee that Tehran receives some of the badly-needed medicines whose delivery have been hampered by the American sanctions on the country.
