Rosnano may create investment fund with Iran

Rosnano is considering the possibility of opening a Russian-Iranian investment fund in order to assist the implementation of joint projects in high-tech industries, the head of Rosnano Anatoly Chubais said.

"We and Iran began a serious exchange long before the recent political decisions related to the lifting of sanctions. It restrained us, but today, when sanctions are lifted, we don't see any obstacles. We have intensive contacts, including with the government of Iran. We hope that it will help us to create not a joint project, but an investment fund,'' Interfax cites him as saying.
