Sandberg becomes the first Norwegian minister visiting the country after sanctions against Iran were lifted from January 2016.
During the visit should Sandberg including attending a seafood conference organized by Seafood Council and Innovation Norway, visiting local seafood market and aquaculture, as well as having political conversations.
– Norwegian aquaculture industry is a world leader and we are experiencing increased interest in our solutions. Iran has made it clear that they want growth in their aquaculture and this can provide opportunities for Norwegian suppliers. Currently we sell small fish to Iran, but we see a positive trend and the potential can be huge, says Sandberg.
