In an interview with IRNA, Salehi said after implementation of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) many problems were removed and a number of banks are now cooperating with Iran but the big banks have not reestablished economic cooperation with the country.
'During talks with the British Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond, the issue was raised and I assumed that he is doing his best to find way out of the current problems,' Salehi said.
'We discussed the issue very deeply but prior to reaching any concrete agreement we avoid to unveil it but we can say that negotiations to his end are underway and they are serious to resolve the issue, ' Salehi said.
