Tehran and Pyongyang are in talks about possible exports of Iranian oil to North Korea, Iran's oil ministry said on Saturday.
“We have had, and continue to have, negotiations with the North Koreans who have requested to buy Iranian oil. We are discussing the procedure and we don't have any problem selling them oil," Iranian Oil Minister Rostam Qasemi told a briefing at an International oil and gas exhibition in Tehran.
The minister admitted that Iran was feeling the strain of sanctions imposed on the country by foreign governments, but said it would not get in the way of the transportation of its oil to “any country, in any part of the world,” AP cites.
