He made the remarks in a meeting with the Norwegian Deputy Minister of Industry, Trade and Fisheries, Rouy Anjulik late Friday.

Araqchi is currently in Oslo at the invitation of his Norwegian counterpart to attend the eighth round of political consultations between the two countries.

Referring to long-standing cooperation and relations between the two countries, especially in the fields of oil, gas and fisheries, Araqchi stressed the need for establishing joint committees for promoting strategic cooperation and accessing suitable banking and financial mechanisms on the basis of mutual interests.

Anjulik, for his part, said that Norway enjoys good experience, capabilities and financial and technical capacities for investment in Iran.
