The Brazilian minister of development, industry and foreign trade is scheduled to visit Tehran to pave the way for expansion of economic ties with Iran.
Brazilian Ambassador in Iran Antonio Luis Espinola Salgado says a delegation of 80 businesspersons and industrialists will accompany Miguel Jorge during his trip to the Iranian capital. He did not specify the date of the visit.
"Brazil is determined to expand its ties with Iran in different areas," IRNA quoted Salgado as saying on Friday.
Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva is also planning to pay an official visit to Tehran in May.
Last month, Mir-Qassem Momeni, the head of Iran-Brazil Friendship Association, said economy will top President Lula's agenda during his visit to Iran, slated for May 15.
An established nuclear state itself, Brazil has been a vocal supporter of Iran's right to enrich uranium for civilian applications. The country has also expressed willingness to facilitate Tehran in acquiring fuel for its medical research reactor.
US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton visited Brazil in earlier March to win support for fresh anti-Iran sanctions over its nuclear program. However, she failed to bring President Lula onboard the US-led campaign.
