Iran, Turkey Expanding Tech Ties

In a move to broaden the country's foreign ties in the field of science and technology, an Iranian delegation visited Turkey during the weekend and discussed ways of expanding tech collaborations and exports.
Sorena Sattari, the vice president for science and technology, was accompanied by a group of senior tech authorities and 80 representatives from knowledge-based companies active in the fields of technology, particularly ICT, health, equipment manufacture and medicine.
They met their counterparts, including Turkey’s Minister of Industry and Technology Mustafa Varank, along with directors of 200 tech firms.
Reviewing Iran's significant progress in different tech areas while being pressured by US sanctions, Sattari said that with the help of knowledge-based companies, Iran is trying to reform its economic structure.
