Bijan Sheibani, MD of Dubai-based Direct Trade House International was confident that the visit will open doors for the two largest and oldest trading partners. He said that often countries mixed politics with business. Referring to Teheran’s nuclear programme drawing flack from the West, especially the US, Sheibani said: “Many economies believe in mixing business with politics and that is a major error.
