Iranian President Hassan Rouhani says the nuclear agreement with the P5+1 group of countries has paved the way for the expansion of Iran’s relations with other countries.

“The Islamic Republic of Iran will have more appropriate conditions after the nuclear agreement and the lifting of illegal sanctions to establish and improve trade and economic relations with other countries,” Rouhani said in a meeting with Singapore’s new non-resident Ambassador to Tehran Ong Keng Yong on Sunday [30 August].

… The Singaporean ambassador, who submitted his credentials to President Rouhani, called for increased trade and economic exchanges with Iran. He said Singapore is keen to boost cultural and tourist ties with the Islamic Republic as a country with an ancient civilization.
