The Iranian government plans to introduce barter trade with Russia, which will allow Tehran to import steel, and Moscow – auto parts and gas turbines, Minister of Trade and Industry of Iran Reza Fatemi Amin told on Press TV.
Speaking on the sidelines of Iran-Russia joint economic and trade cooperation commission in Tehran, Fatemi Amin said Iran will need to import raw metals like zinc, lead and alumina from Russia to respond to a growing domestic demand.
The minister noted that in exchange for Russian metal products, Iran can export spare parts for cars and repair gas turbines for Russian power plants.
