[THE INVESTOR] A group of South Korean delegates visited Iran on Aug. 4 to support local environmental enterprises in making inroads into the largely untapped market.

The Ministry of Environment said it sent six public and private sector officials to meet with their Iranian counterparts, including the country’s Vice President Masoumeh Ebtekar who also heads Iran’s Department of Environment.

During their visit to Tehran, the delegation will discuss specific details in regards to a memorandum of understanding for environmental cooperation signed in May.

The visit follows just a few weeks after a group of environment-related Iranian government officials and experts visited South Korea for a week to receive environment business-related training as part of an effort to strengthen bilateral cooperation between the two countries.
