Mohsen Qamsari, director of international affairs at National Iranian Oil Company, said Japan is a traditional customer of Iranian oil and "Iran is ready to bring the level of its exports back to the pre-sanctions era."
Qamsari's statements came after a meeting of Iranian petroleum minister with a high-profile Japanese delegation here in Tehran on Sunday.
The delegation led by State Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Daishiro Yamagiwa arrived in Tehran on Saturday for a two-day visit to hold talks with Iran's senior officials.
The delegation comprises trade officials and executives of major Japanese industries such as Mitsui & Co., Kansai Paint Co., Sanden Holdings, Nippon Steel, Sojitz, ITOCHU and Kamematu.
Their visit to Iran is the first by a Japanese trade delegation in 14 years.
The delegation is the latest of a series of foreign delegations to flock to Iran in pursuit of normalizing ties by enhancing industrial and business cooperation with the country ever since it reached a historic nuclear deal with world powers in Vienna.
