On August 24th, our program was visited by the ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Iran Mr. Mohammad Hassan Habibollahzadeh.
He was accompanied by the first counsellor Mr. Ali Ghomshi.
Mr. Thor Asgeirsson, the UNU-FTP deputy director, and staff members Ms. Mary Frances Davidson and Mr. Stefán Úlfarsson greeted the gests.
The two sides reviewed the program’s involvement in capacity building in Iran. Altogether six fellows participated in the six-months training program between 2002 and 2006.
The fishing sector in Iran has a lot of potential for further development and there are many ways in which the UNU-FTP program can assist in that effort.
