Piechociński announces trade mission to Iran

The Minister of the Economy, Janusz Piechociński, declared on Thursday that he will go to Iran along with 50-60 entrepreneurs in the wake of the landmark nuclear deal signed recently. Piechociński claimed that Polish businessmen ought to be very well prepared as they will be competing with their European counterparts, particularly from Germany. Iranian Ambassador Ramin Mehmanparast expressed his hope during a joint press conference that Polish companies would be present on the Iranian market. "We should think of great projects bringing revenues counted in billions, not millions." He added that Iran is also preparing a trade mission to Poland. Meanwhile, refinery Orlen said that it is interested in buying oil from Iran and is considering the sale of its petrochemical products on the Iranian market. However, Sławomir Jędrzejczyk, the deputy CEO of the company,  said that Orlen is not considering any investments in the country at this stage.
