Turkish President Abdullah Gul will travel to Iran on Feb. 13 with a delegation of more than 100 businesspeople seeking trade opportunities, the state-run Anatolia news agency reported.
The delegation will meet with Iranian business leaders in the cities of Tehran, Isfahan and Tabriz, Anatolia said. On Feb. 14, Gul and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad will speak at a Turkish-Iranian business forum, it said.
Turkey and Iran are experiencing “a golden age” in trade relations, partly because United Nations and U.S. sanctions are driving more business to Iran through Turkey, said Riza Amuzgar, head of the Turkish-Iranian council at Turkey’s Foreign Economic Relations Board, according to Anatolia.
