Grant for Iran trade mission withdrawn

Junior economic affairs minister Frank Heemskerk has withdrawn a grant made to an independent trade mission to Iran because of threats by the UN to impose stricter sanctions on the country. Heemskerk has also urged the Dutch council for trade promotion (NCH) which is organising the trip to cancel it.
