German Chancellor Angela Merkel said Tuesday she was “sceptical” about countries forming energy and trading ties with Iran which could end up making them count too much on Tehran, reported Agence France Presse.
“I am sceptical about too much dependency vis-a-vis Iran,” she told journalists after a meeting with Swiss President Pascal Couchepin.
Switzerland’s trade and diplomatic relations with the Islamic republic have come under fire in recent months after foreign minister Micheline Calmy-Rey travelled to Tehran in March to sign a gas deal.
