Earlier this month in Tehran, the Japanese and Iranian foreign ministers agreed to begin negotiations on a bilateral investment treaty. Japan also wants to speed up implementation of the Iran nuclear deal, so that it can take advantage of the business opportunities that will result when economic sanctions on the Islamic Republic are lifted.
日本的潜在贡献同样涉及伊朗，日本近来一直寻求密切两国关系——日本需要伊朗的石油和天然气仅仅是其中部分理由。本月早些时候在德黑兰，日本和伊朗外长同意开始就双边投资条约举行谈判。日本还希望加快实施伊朗核协议，以使其能充分利用对伊朗伊斯兰共和国取消经济制裁所带来的商业机会。
